3 Taco Recipes You Can’t Miss in Your Kitchen
If you’re a fan of Mexican food, tacos likely hold a special place in your heart. Whether it’s for a quick meal, a family gathering, or just to indulge in something flavorful, tacos are a versatile and delicious choice. Today, we’re sharing three taco recipes that should always be a staple in your kitchen. From the iconic Tacos al Pastor, to the traditional Tacos de Picadillo, and the savory Tacos de Alambre, these recipes will bring the essence of Mexican cuisine straight to your table.
1. Tacos al Pastor 🌮
Tacos al Pastor are a classic that perfectly blends sweet and savory flavors, thanks to the delicious combination of marinated pork and grilled pineapple. With roots in Lebanese shawarma, this taco is one of the most beloved in Mexico.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb pork shoulder (thinly sliced)
- 2 slices of fresh pineapple
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp achiote paste
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- Corn tortillas
- Onion and cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a blender, combine garlic, achiote paste, vinegar, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and orange juice. Blend until smooth.
2. Marinate the Pork: Pour the marinade over the sliced pork shoulder. Let it marinate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
3. Cook the Pork: Heat a Volcanic Stone Comal over medium-high heat. Cook the pork slices until crispy and browned. Grill the pineapple slices as well.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas on the comal, fill them with the sliced pork, grilled pineapple, onion, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
2. Tacos de Picadillo 🌮
For a more comforting option, Tacos de Picadillo are a hearty choice, filled with seasoned ground beef, potatoes, and vegetables. This taco is perfect when you’re craving something flavorful and filling.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large potato (diced)
- 1/4 cup peas
- 1/4 cup carrots (diced)
- 1/4 onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- Corn tortillas
- Optional: chopped cilantro and lime for serving
Steps:
- Cook the Beef: In a Copper Cazo, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the onions and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the diced potatoes, peas, and carrots, cooking for another 5 minutes.
- Season and Simmer: Add the tomato sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas on a Volcanic Stone Comal. Fill them with the picadillo mixture, and garnish with cilantro and lime if desired.
3. Tacos de Alambre 🌮
For something truly savory, Tacos de Alambre combine juicy sirloin steak, crispy bacon, and sautéed vegetables. This taco is flavorful and satisfying, and the option to add melted cheese makes it even better.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb sirloin steak (diced)
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 onion (sliced)
- 1/4 lb bacon (chopped)
- 1 cup cheese (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Corn tortillas
- Lime wedges for serving
Steps:
- Cook the Bacon: In a Copper Cazo, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving some fat in the pan.
- Cook the Beef and Veggies: Add the diced sirloin steak to the pan and cook until browned. Then, add the bell peppers and onion, cooking until tender.
- Add Bacon and Cheese: Stir the bacon back in, and sprinkle cheese if desired, allowing it to melt.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas, fill them with the beef and veggie mixture, and serve with lime wedges.
These three taco recipes are a must-have for any taco lover. Whether you prefer the sweet-savory punch of Tacos al Pastor, the comforting flavors of Tacos de Picadillo, or the rich savoriness of Tacos de Alambre, each recipe brings a unique taste of Mexico to your kitchen. Enjoy them using traditional Mexican cooking tools like the Volcanic Stone Comal and Copper Cazo to elevate the authenticity of your meal.
