Taco Time

Turn your kitchen into a taquer�a, (a taco shop), for the evening and throw a taquiza, (a taco party). Tortillas, folded in half, amiably hold your choice of filling, garnishes, and a drizzle of sauce. Freshly assembled, a few tacos make a meal rich with flavor and full of satisfaction. You'll quickly rediscover this humble fare can be muy fantastico!

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we revive the notion of tacos as a food with endless mix-and-match possibilities and multiple personalities. Three examples of fresh, flavorful tacos are presented thanks to 300 Best Taco Recipes. And, if you'd like to really develop your taquero (taco chef) skills, we illustrate how to make your own fresh tortillas. It's taco time, let the fiesta begin!
