Elevate Your Tacos
A lot of us have a favorite taco recipe, and I won’t try to dissuade you here. Instead, here are a few little tips that I’ve picked up over the years learning from some of my Mexican colleagues.
First, ditch the flour tortillas. Instead, get corn tortillas. You’ll have to toast them on a ripping hot pan for about two minutes aside (don’t leave the room and flip them often), but the result will be a crunchier shell with a lot more flavor of its own than the flour tortillas can offer.
Second, use fresh limes instead of the bottled stuff. Fresh lime juice is a lot more refined in its taste, and, bonus, you’ll have limes around for putting into your beer.
Finally, you might want to consider skipping the sour cream, and instead go for a more authentic cheese like queso blanco: it’ll deepen and add some nice salt to the flavor.
Now, apply these to your favorite beef tacos, and come back to thank me later.
