The Dos and Don’ts of Eating Tacos

A Food Fun Travel Guest Post

Tacos are delicious and easy to make at home food, but there are some things you should keep in mind when enjoying them. If you’re new to eating tacos or want to make sure you’re doing it right, here are some dos and don’ts to follow.

 

Do make your own tortillas

Making your own tortillas is super easy. All you need is a Tortilla press and some masa harina (corn flour). Don’t be intimidated; they’re really simple to make and taste so much better than store-bought tortillas. Plus, it’s a fun activity to do with friends or family.

It takes only minutes to make fresh, hot tortillas, and the results are worth it.

 

Don’t use pre-made taco shells

Taco shells are often made with subpar ingredients and can be loaded with unhealthy fats. If you’re looking for a healthier option, make your own taco shells out of corn tortillas. Just heat the tortillas in a dry skillet until they’re crispy.

You’ll notice immediately that homemade taco shells taste better and are much healthier for you.

 

Do fill your tacos with healthy ingredients

Tacos are the perfect vessel for loading up on healthy ingredients. Fill them with fresh veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats. Skip the processed cheese and sour cream and go for avocado or Greek yogurt instead.

A taco shouldn’t be loaded down with unhealthy ingredients. Keep it light and healthy for the best results. You’ll feel better and won’t have to worry about ruining your diet.

 

Don’t forget the salsa

Salsa is a must-have condiment for tacos. It adds flavor and spice and can make a taco pop. No worries if you don’t have the time to make your own salsa. There are plenty of great store-bought options available.

Just be sure to avoid salsas that are high in sugar or salt. Instead, stick to fresh, homemade salsa or all-natural store-bought options for the best results.

 

Do experiment with different types of tacos

Tacos don’t have to be traditional. There are endless possibilities when it comes to filling and toppings. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.

Try a fish taco with mango salsa or a vegetarian taco with black beans and corn. The options are endless, so have fun and get creative.

 

Don’t be afraid to get messy

Tacos are meant to be enjoyed with your hands. Don’t be afraid to get a little messy. It’s all part of the fun. Don’t be that person who uses a fork to eat their tacos. It’s just not right.

If you’re worried about making a mess, have plenty of napkins on hand. If you’re new to eating tacos, you’ll get the hang of it in no time.

 

Don’t skimp on the guac

Guacamole is an essential component of any good taco. Don’t be stingy with it. Be generous with your guacamole and enjoy the creamy, delicious goodness.

 Avocados are packed with nutrients, so enjoy your guacamole guilt-free. They’re filled with healthy fats that are good for you.

So there you have it, the dos and don’ts of eating tacos. Just remember to keep it simple, healthy, and fun. Experiment with different flavors and fillings; don’t be afraid to get messy. Enjoy!
