25 incredibly creative, flavorful, and healthy taco recipes in one post? Yes, indeed! Having recently moved from one border city (Las Cruces, NM.) to another (McAllen, TX.), I have begun to realize that I have only begun to explore the plethora of ways to prepare a taco. While I use the word loosely - it doesn't have to be Mexican - I do define a taco as a handheld tortilla (either corn or flour) typically over-stuffed with fillings and garnishes. The recipes in my collection run the gamut from the soil (vegetarian) to the sea (fish and seafood) to the land (beef, lamb, pork, and chicken). They also range from ever-so-slightly traditional grilled fish tacos and carnita tacos to lamb tacos and lengua tacos. You will be delighted to find Caribbean, Indian, Asian, Middle-Eastern, and eclectic variations... I am so excited, and can't wait to try each one! I hope that you'll visit each of these fine blogs, and give many of them a try!
