It’s no secret that the best tacos you can eat are ones bought from a food truck or your local Mexican food place. But that shouldn’t stop you from trying to make them at home. Just make sure to avoid these common mistakes if you want them to turn out great.
Disregarding the Importance of Tortilla
Most people put so much emphasis on taco fillings that they disregard the importance of tortillas. Don’t make this mistake because it will significantly affect the quality of your taco. Make sure to use quality corn tortillas and heat them before assembling the taco.
Using Too Many Fillings
It is hard to resist the temptation of putting all sorts of veggies, condiments, and sauces in your taco, but you should. Taco filings are meant to be simple, consisting of meat and salsa with the addition of white onions, shredded lettuce, or chili peppers. You can mix and match but don’t try to put everything that you find in your fridge in a taco.
Overfilling the Tacos
The less is more when it comes to tacos. You want the fillings to complement each other, and putting too much of them will prevent the flavors from blending. Also, they will spill out from the tortilla or make it soggy.
Forgetting the Lime
Lime is a must if you want to have a proper taco experience. Squeezing some fresh lime juice on a taco will give it a citrus kick and bring out the flavor of other ingredients.
