I have a confession to make. I’ve never made tacos before and I’ve probably only had tacos a handful of times. So, when I found out that the Recipe Redux Challenge this month is to recreate tacos, I was drawing a blank for ideas.
The one time that I do remember eating tacos is about 2 years ago at a restaurant and they were fish tacos. I used that as inspiration and created these Tandoori Salmon Tacos.
I decided to take it to the next level by making the tortilla from scratch! To my surprise, they weren’t that complicated and oh boy were they worth it. I followed the recipe for white tortillas by Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. I wanted to perfect white tortillas before I moved on to whole wheat tortillas. I will be trying the whole wheat version soon!
This is a very basic taco recipe but you can always amp it up by adding more toppings. You can top it off with sour cream or even my Pickled Mango (YUM!).
