The Tastiest Texas Tacos: A Culinary Fiesta

  • Savor the Flavor: Embark on a culinary journey with our guide to the tastiest Texas tacos, where every bite is a celebration of the rich and diverse flavors that define Texan taco culture.

Sweet Tacos

The key to a great taco is the wrap and if you want to make a sweet taco you’ll need to make sure that the chocolate wrap is soft enough, but still crunchy so that it doesn’t melt and dissolve in contact with the ice-cream.

When placing the ice cream and the peanuts in a wrap try to separate them evenly by keeping a wood spoon between each filling. That will allow you to work faster and you’ll get an even filling for each taco individually.

Chorizo Tacos

This is one of the easiest taco to make, the only problem being that it depends on finding a good (or any) chorizo at your local store. It’s become a popular dish in Texas so you might be able to buy some at your local store, however, if not, you may use ordinary American sausage as a (worse) replacement.

It’s a raw pork sausage heavily flavored with cumin and garlic, which means you’ll need little other spices. It will be enough to add potatoes, baby tomatoes and possibly some pineapple to make things interesting. The secret is to dip each taco wrapping in the skillet where you’re cooking the chorizo to add flavor and soften the wrap.

Shrimp Tacos

Shrimp tacos are easy to make and even with the simplest ingredients, they are still delicious. The key to making your shrimp tacos stand out, aren’t the crispy tacos themselves but the sauce. Three ingredients: mayonnaise, sour cream and sriracha sauce (how long does sriracha sauce last?), are enough to bring the shrimps together and to make them softer and spicier.

Assemble each taco individually so that you make sure each has enough sauce and finish by covering them in cabbage and radishes since they would work well with the sauce as well.

Cobb Salad Tacos

It’s a traditional American salad but when you add a tortilla, you can turn into quick snack food instead. The key to a good Cobb salad is the cheese you’ll use and it’s best to go with a blue cheese such as Roquefort. If that’s too poignant for you, go with milder cheese such as Gorgonzola.

It’s important to prepare every part individually and bring them together in a tortilla wrap. Eggs should be made in one pan, bacon garlic and cheese in another and tortillas should be heated separately as well.

Huevos Rancheros Tacos

If you define tacos as handy food, that could be held in hand and eaten on the go, this might not even count as a taco in your book. It requires a knife and fork. It’s a soft egg yolk that coats the filling and you’ll need to put the taco on a plate.

The egg should cook for two minutes and no more and it should be placed at the center of each preheated tortilla. You can top them with whatever you feel like, but pico de gallo and cilantro work pretty well.
