In our neighborhood, there are MANY Mexican restaurants. We have two on our small street alone, there’s another a few blocks down, and then of course there are the major chains. But when we want authentic (in my opinion) tacos, we head to a small walk up stand around the corner. Not the usual place I’d think to get a great meal, but the street tacos are the best I have ever had.

Street tacos are not covered in sauce, salsa, or sour cream; there isn’t even any cheese. A little onion and fresh cilantro Β are all they need.

In a simple street taco, the meat is by far the star.

We love visiting the small taco stand during the summer, but during the winter it’s not all that fun to eat outside, and the tacos get cold before we get them home, so I tried to recreate our favorite street tacos at Β home.

We now have a new taco Tuesday recipe to add to our collection!
