Tips:

  • Choose the right type of taco shells: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for tacos, but you can also use flour tortillas or even wonton wrappers. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to warm them up before filling them so that they don't crack.
  • Don't overfill your tacos: A few well-chosen fillings are better than a pile of ingredients that are falling out of the taco. Keep it simple with a protein, a few vegetables, and a sauce.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your tacos will taste. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables and fruits, and use high-quality meats and cheeses.
  • Experiment with different flavor combinations: There are endless possibilities when it comes to taco fillings, so don't be afraid to experiment. Try different combinations of proteins, vegetables, and sauces to find your favorite tacos.
  • Make it a fun family meal: Tacos are a great meal to make with kids. They can help you choose the fillings and assemble the tacos, and they'll love eating them too.
