Tacos are one of the most versatile meals out there. Whether you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner, or something more elaborate for a special occasion, tacos have got you covered. From vegetarian-friendly options to sweet tacos, there’s a taco idea for everyone!
1. Hand-Made Tortilla Tacos
Chances are good that you know that Mexican tacos are made with soft tortilla, while Tex-Mex tacos are made with hard shells. Both versions are delicious and have their own merits.
However, hand-made tortilla tacos are in a league of their own. If you haven’t tried them you’re missing out big time. While most soft tortillas are made using machines, hand-made tortillas are made on the spot by a person. The result is a softer, thicker tortilla that provides an even more satisfying culinary experience.
2. Shrimp Tacos
When people think about tacos, they usually imagine beef. However, Mexico is a big country with coasts on its western and eastern sides, so it comes as no surprise that seafood tacos are big in coastal states like Baja California or Sinaloa.
And while almost any fish or crustacean can be put in a tortilla, the shrimp taco is by far the king of seafood tacos.
Pro tip: For an even more flavorful experience, garnish your shrimp tacos with mayonnaise or sliced cucumber.
3. Vegetarian Tacos
Again, beef is far from your only option when it comes to tacos.
Of course, chorizo and pastor tacos are the most common in Mexico. However, there’s no shortage of vegetarian options, including:
- Soy beef substitute
- Vegetarian chorizo
- Grilled veggies
- Beans
- Potatoes
- Avocado
4. Spaghetti Tacos
This delicious clash of two world-famous culinary traditions is popular in many Mexican cities.
In addition to being a smart way to use leftovers, spaghetti tacos open up all kinds of interesting possibilities. For example, spaghetti-and-meatball tacos are delicious. But what about adding birria to your spaghetti? Experiment and don’t hesitate to break delicious ground!
5. Sweet Tacos
Yes, you read that right: sweet tacos.
After all, a soft tortilla is a very thin corn pancake, so why not spread on it with a sweet filling such as cajeta (traditional Mexican caramel sauce), marmalade, or Nutella? The result will surprise you!
