Oh, tacos. Is there a handheld food more perfect and delicious? We think not. If you agree, here are some tips for how you can make the best, most authentic tacos right from the comfort of your own home.
Use Two Tortillas
Okay, listen up, because this part is important. Authentic Mexican tacos don’t use a crunchy shell or a flour tortilla. What you need is not one but two corn tortillas warmed until nice and pliable. If you can make your own tortillas at home, even better.
Use the Right Toppings
Real tacos are quite simple, topped only with cilantro, lime, and onion. But they’re your tacos, so you can pile on the cheese and guac and salsa if you want. Just don’t forget to serve with a lime on the side, cilantro, and onions if you want to get the most authentic flavor.
Find the Right Recipe
There are so many different proteins you can use in your taco, but one of the most common is carne asada. Here are a few carne asada recipes that are pretty true to the kind you’d get in a real taqueria:
