My husband and I agree that if we could only eat one food for the rest of our lives it would be tacos, hands down. Which is why we decided to serve them on our wedding day! We sought out the 10 most authentic, mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall taquerias around town in order to pick “the one,” and it was easily the most gratifying task to check off our mile-long wedding planning to-do list.
Of course, the great thing about tacos is both their structural simplicity (tortillas, fillings, and toppings) and their tasty varieties (Carnitas! Chicken! Shrimp! Veggies! Salsas! Garnishes galore!). Think about it: Not many foods out there are as versatile and consistently delicious as the mighty taco. Below is a round-up of taco recipes that will equally appease omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike—and even a chocotaco to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. ¡Qué viva la Taco Tuesday!
