Best Taco Fillings

Tacos are delicious side items or you can even serve them as a yummy snack. They taste delicious and are loved by people of all ages. 

Tacos are available in different kinds of shapes, colors and sizes. There are unlimited choices when it comes to taco fillings. Take a look at some of the best options:
  • The traditional taco fillings include diced onions along with chopped cilantro, radishes, lime wedges and grilled or pickled jalapenos. If you desire, you can even add a salsa of your choice to enhance the overall flavors.
  • You can even use griddled fillings such as grilled steak, chicken, chorizo or grilled tripe. Sometimes guacamole is also added along with sharp-flavored meats so that the tacos taste even better.
  • You can even use Texas chili to stuff the tacos. The aromatic blend of spices and the sumptuous taste of beef will definitely make the tacos taste yummy.
  • Braised meat fillings are another very good option for tacos. The meat is cooked with maguey leaves and then shredded to perfection. You can easily buy all the taco fillings from the market and relish the wonderful flavors at your home.
  • Salsa is one of the chief ingredients used for filling a taco shell and therefore it is important to pay special attention to it. You can opt for a salsa of cooked dried chili peppers and aromatic spices or go with a puree of avocado, lime and other fragrant ingredients. Another variety includes chopped tomatoes along with chili peppers, onion and cilantro. 
  • You can also choose to dig into fish tacos and satiate your taste buds. The fish used in the filling can be battered, deep fried or grilled depending on your preference. Soft corn tortillas go perfectly with the fish filling. Shredded cabbage slaw, a dressing with sour cream as the base, smoked jalapenos and cilantro are other ingredients used in the fish tacos. You can replace fish with grilled or fried shrimp if you like.
  • For a delectable vegetarian filling, you can opt for roasted pepper strips and creamy potatoes. You can even go in for a filling of cheese, beans, lettuce and salsa of your choice. The tacos will taste as delicious as ever.
You can easily buy taco shells as well as their fillings in the foodservice products section of any supermarket.
