Taco Recipes

I could eat tacos any night of the week, and I've made enough of them to write an entire cookbook about it. Start with some of my favorites from The Taco Tuesday Cookbook, then keep going for plenty more Taco Tuesday recipes and ideas for dinner.

Chicken Tacos

Chicken is usually already in my fridge, which makes these some of the easiest tacos to pull off on a weeknight. Pick one, grab the tortillas, and dinner is handled.

  • BBQ Chicken Tostadas
  • large chicken fajita taco on a plate

  • crunchy chicken thigh tacos in a white dish

Beef Tacos

Some nights I need beef tacos in 20 minutes. Other days I'll let the slow cooker handle them. Either way, there's an option here depending on how much time you have.

  • beef and cheese hard shell tacos
    American Beef Tacos
  • Korean beef tacos on a plate with lime wedges

  • two street tacos next to a little bowl of pico de gallo

Pork Tacos

Pork and tortillas are a pretty great match. These are the taco recipes I reach for when I want to switch things up from the usual chicken or beef.

  • slow cooker tequila lime pulled pork tacos
    Slow Cooker Tequila Lime Pulled Pork Tacos
  • hawaiian pork tacos on a plate
    Slow Cooker Pineapple Pulled Pork Tacos
  • a person holding an Asian pork rib taco

  • butternut squash tacos

Fish & Shrimp Tacos

Even my kids ask for these, and I'm happy to make them. Fish and shrimp cook quickly, which makes these tacos especially handy when dinner needs to happen fast.

  • baked fish tacos on a plate with pineapple salsa
    Coconut Crusted Baked Fish Tacos
  • large sheet pan of shrimp fajitas

  • closeup of blackened fish taco

  • 10-Minute Pineapple Shrimp Tacos

Meatless Tacos

No meat? No problem. These tacos are proof that you don't need it to make taco night happen, and they're a good way to give the grocery budget a break too.

  • Roasted Chickpea and Butternut Squash Tacos
  • poblano pepper tacos on a square plate
    Mushroom Tacos
  • two roasted veggie tacos topped with cotija cheese
    Roasted Veggie Tacos with Black Beans
  • vegetarian blackened zucchini tacos on a white plate
    Blackened Zucchini Tacos

Breakfast Tacos

Tacos for breakfast? Always yes. These are for mornings when eggs and toast sound boring and wrapping breakfast in a tortilla sounds much better.

    The Best Tacos Rancheros
  • closeup of scrambled egg taco topped with cheese and salsa verde

Nachos

Nachos are what I make when putting dinner in the middle of the table and letting everyone dig in sounds like the best plan. Add the toppings everyone wants and call it dinner.

  • close up of chicken fajita nachos

  • pulled pork taco sin a skillet topped with sliced jalapenos
    Skillet Nachos with Pulled Pork
  • Sheet Pan Nachos
  • bell pepper nachos on a plate

Salsa

A good salsa can completely change the taco, and making your own is easier than you might think. Spoon it over tacos, scoop it up with chips, or just put the bowl on the table and watch it disappear.

  • fresh salsa with chips
    Blender Salsa
  • Roasted Tomatillo Salsa Verde
  • How to Make Pico de Gallo
  • guacamole in a bowl

Taco Tuesday Essentials

I've been doing Taco Tuesday for years, and these are the basics I keep coming back to. They're the little things that make taco night easier and a whole lot better.

  • three hard shell tacos
