Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sun-dried tomatoes. Choose tomatoes that are ripe, firm, and have a deep red color.
- Use fresh herbs: Basil is the classic herb to use with sun-dried tomatoes, but you can also experiment with other herbs such as oregano, thyme, or rosemary.
- Don't over-dry your tomatoes: Sun-dried tomatoes should be chewy, not brittle. If you over-dry them, they will become tough and leathery.
- Use a good quality yogurt: The yogurt you use in your tacos should be thick and creamy. Greek yogurt is a good option.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make sun-dried tomato and basil yogurt tacos. Get creative and try different toppings and fillings.
