Get Creative With Taco Recipes
By KC Kudra
A lot of authentic Mexican food recipes allow for creativity. Some people like to follow a recipe to the letter but others prefer to add their own touch, substituting one herb or spice for another or adding a new flavor element.
If you are new to making Mexican recipes you will probably want to follow the recipes until you understand Mexican cuisine a bit better. If you enjoy being creative, there is plenty of scope to alter famous Mexican foods like tacos, burritos or filled tortillas.
You can use any filling or topping you like when making a taco recipe. In Mexico, tacos can be filled with literally anything and this includes meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, cheese, beans, or any combination of those.
Mexicans even eat "salt tacos" which are tacos rolled up with salt inside. These are used in conjunction with a fork, for scooping up food, but it shows you how you can make a really plain taco filling if you want to!
Meat and Fish Taco Fillings
If you want a more interesting filling for your taco recipes than salt, what about experimenting with beef taco recipes? You can try shredded beef, crockpot cooked beef, ground beef, sauteed steak or grilled steak. Use sour cream or barbecue sauce as a tasty topping. You can also put the taco meat over lettuce to make a taco salad recipe.
Fish is another good idea if you want to get creative with tacos. What about using a flaky, white fish like mahi mahi or tilapia? If you fancy a seafood taco, saute some shrimp in garlic-infused oil for a delicious filling.
Vegetarian Taco Recipes
If your guests are vegetarian, that is no problem if you want to make inspired taco recipes. Saute some chopped bell peppers, onions, eggplant, and zucchini in a skillet. Throw in some garlic and olive oil and use this flavorful filling to make a vegetarian taco. You can garnish these flavorful snacks with slices of avocado and tomato, or even some queso fresco or grated Mexican cheese blend. Be resourceful and use up whichever vegetables you happen to have in the refrigerator.
Beans are another good idea for making tacos and you can grill some vegetables and combine them with kidney beans, navy beans, white beans, or any bean combination you fancy. Beans feature in many traditional Mexican foods and they are versatile too, complementing meat, fish, poultry, or vegetarian recipes. Beans are also a good source of protein.
Other Interesting Taco Filling Combinations
Saute some shrimp in garlic-infused oil until they are pink, then remove them from the pan and chop them finely. Saute some sliced chorizo in the same pan for five minutes, and then stir it into the shrimp.
Serve this shrimp and chorizo filling in taco shells. You might not have thought that the flavors of shrimp and chorizo would work together but they really do, and this recipe is so simple to prepare.
If you want to serve cold tacos, what about making a salad filling? Lettuce, avocado, tomato salsa, sour cream, grated Mexican cheese, cucumber, chopped tomatoes, beans and corn all work well together or you could combine a few of these ingredients for an imaginative filling.
Tacos are a great example of Mexican food but if you have only every tried Taco Bell style tacos, you are missing out! Mexican recipes can be adapted to suit your palate and easy Mexican recipes like tacos are so easy to adapt. You can use your favorite ingredients to make a delicious taco filling.
