When it comes to tacos, are you a hard-crunchy shell type or the soft tortilla fan? Is it corn or flour that gets you excited? Believe it or not, we don’t always have to choose.

Mexican French Bread Tacos
What can I say about French Bread Tacos except to say they are different. Kiddo really enjoyed his tacos. But then again, he had a few Margaritas to go with the tacos, so that might have something to do with it.

These tightly rolled tacos were so easy to make, so packed with flavor and super filling. It’s amazing just how far two boneless chicken breasts can go. If you like heat, use a hot salsa and spicy guacamole. If heat isn’t your thing, go with their milder cousins.

Those of you who have been following along for a while know that I like to plan my meals out way, way in advance. Usually I put the final touches on the meal planner toward the end of the week for the following week, making little adjustments as needed. When I saw this great idea for a casual meal, I didn’t know where to place it.

One Saturday morning, Hubby and I were going over the week’s shopping list before heading out to the various markets. When the weather is nice, marketing includes a trip to a produce shack up the road for anything we need that we aren’t growing ourselves. Let me tell you, they have some of the best berries in town.

These yummy tacos were featured as part of last year’s Cinco de Mayo Feast. While great for the occasion, tacos this good are awesome any time. Can you tell, rather than have a day celebrating all that is Mexican through foods, I’d like to have an entire month dedicated to the exploration of Mexico’s culinary delights. Wouldn’t that be great?

Did you know that the word “taco” first came into use in the 18th century silver mines of Mexico. Back then, a taco was paper wrapped around gunpowder. Hum, not very appetizing, is it?

Growing up, Dad made the best tacos. What made his tacos so flavorful? It was the blend of meat filling – Ground Chuck and good quality Chorizo. By good quality Chorizo, I mean the good stuff you find in a Mexican Meat Market – the stuff sold in bulk, not in plastic tubes in the grocery store. And there was more.

Have you noticed all those Stand and Fill Tacos Shells in the Mexican aisle of the supermarket? The problem with the crisp corn variety is that while filling the shell is easy, one bite and the wide shell tends to crack and fall apart. If you aren’t careful, you will end up with taco meat in your lap! Not a pretty sight.
Continue reading “Oven Baked Stuffed Tacos With Spicy Meat and Beans”Slow Cooker Spicy Chicken Thigh Tacos
Most Chicken Taco recipes call for breast meat. Why not change things up a bit by using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead? The flavor of the dark meat is superior to the white meat. The boneless, skinless variety of thigh meat isn’t overly fatty. And it’s a heck of a lot cheaper. All of these are definite reasons in favor of changing things up a bit.

There is nothing like coming home to a wonderful meal, all cooked up in a slow-cooker, just waiting for the final touches. These Shredded Pork Tacos are absolutely delicious. The pork can be started in the crock pot while still frozen, perfect for forgetful cooks or last-minute decision makers – no need to defrost ahead of time. The slow-cooked pork is then finished in a large skillet, adding all the “taco” seasonings at the end. There will be plenty of meat left over for a second meal or to use as a filler to make pork enchiladas. The flavors are mild, lending easily to other creations.

I came across this recipe recently on food.com. The kiddo and I really like Jack-in-the-Box tacos – for reasons I don’t understand. (Hubby thinks we are daft). So we decided to give them a whirl. I added more beans than the original recipe called for, as well as more taco sauce to the meat mixture. The original recipe said it made 12 tacos. I only got 8 out of mine, but I was heavier on the filling than those you get at Jack-in-the-Box. The only draw back that I found was how much the grease splattered when the tacos were fried. You’ll need plenty of paper towels handy to blot the oil from the tacos before serving. These are NOT healthy tacos – it’s fast-food junk all the way. Even so, they are really good.
Shredded Chicken Tacos (Crock Pot Style)
I love using my Crock Pot – especially during the summer, when you don’t necessarily want to heat up the house with the oven all day or slave over a hot stove. I especially like crock pot cooking on the weekends in the summer. Beautiful days are spent outdoors. With a crock pot, you can throw things together in the morning, then spend the day doing fun stuff, to return at the end of your adventure to a complete or nearly complete supper. Yeah, that’s always nice!
Chorizo-Lime Street Tacos
Street Tacos have been around for as long as tacos themselves. Once packed for the working man much the way a sandwich is packed in a lunch box, these tacos are now a popular items among Food Truck and Street Cart diners. Traditionally speaking, street tacos are made from fish or slow-cooked shredded pork. Mine aren’t.

In what seems like a life-time ago, before Kiddo came into our lives, I was working on a book. The book, although fiction, was woven from the tapestry of American history from 1868 to 1876. What is the saying? Write what you know about . . . historical accuracy meant a great deal of research.
