Tacos

recipes for making homemade tacos

Got Tacos on the brain?!  Here are some great recipes to try out -- with a special nod to Tinga Tacos and the modestly named World's Greatest Chicken Tacos.

Spicy Black Bean and Guacamole Tostadas

September 4, 2017 By Patrick 6 Comments

Serious reward to effort ratio here! We're crisping a corn tortilla and loading it up with spicy black bean puree and a refreshing guacamole. So good! mexicanplease.com

These Black Bean and Guacamole Tostadas are the perfect example of Mexican cuisine’s generous reward-to-effort ratio.  You get so much in return here for doing so little work. And not only that, you’ll probably have black bean puree leftovers, which means for the next few days you can whip up killer insta-meals whenever you get…

Pork Carnitas Slow Cooker Recipe

July 28, 2017 By Patrick 32 Comments

One of my all-time favorite recipes! The slow cooker keeps these carnitas moist and loads them up with flavor. Best combo for tacos is carnitas, salsa verde, onion, cilantro and a squeeze of lime. So good! mexicanplease.com

Pork carnitas have never tasted this good to me.  Partly because carnitas are a natural fit for the slow cooker, and partly because I’ve been eating kale salads for the past couple weeks. If carnitas are even slightly on your radar it’s worth trying out a slow cooker version.  The lower temperature of a slow…

Colorado Chicken Tacos

December 2, 2016 By Patrick 25 Comments

Ancho and New Mexican dried chilis create a delicious Colorado Sauce that's served up taco style with chipotle infused refried beans and grilled chicken. So good! mexicanplease.com

In addition to their unique, otherworldly flavor, these Colorado Chicken Tacos have some rebel in them. Most old school Mexican sauces rarely dip their toes in the taco pool, but this lively Colorado Sauce abhors rules and is bursting with an urgent need to be heard (eaten). A simple pairing with some chipotle infused refried beans will leave…

August 4, 2016 By Patrick Leave a Comment

I've been eating these Crispy Chicken Tacos all week long -- crispy chicken strips, chipotle crema, guacamole, pickled jalapenos, Cotija cheese and cilantro -- all served on a warm corn tortilla. So good! mexicanplease.com

I’ve been eating these Crispy Chicken Tacos all week long.  And thinking about them when I’m not eating them.  Good sign? They are beyond satiating and can be super quick to throw together once you find a combo you like. Don’t worry about mimicking the exact recipe here as some of the ingredients could leave…

Chicken Tinga Tacos (Are Everywhere)

May 20, 2016 By Patrick 10 Comments

These Chicken Tinga Tacos are the real deal and worthy of being called Tingalicious!!! mexicanplease.com

“Tinga” denotes torn or shredded meat in Spanish, but to Western ears Teeengaaaa rolls off the tongue like an exotic dish you can pay good money for, but make at home?!  Never! Taquerias north of the border have responded by making Tinga Tacos the star attraction, but the long trip up from Mexico has left these popular tacos struggling to reclaim their identity,…
