In this article we’ll talk about what goes into making the perfect taco (and avoiding common mistakes), as well as some helpful hints on how to improve your own homemade version of these delectable treats.
What makes a good taco?
Ingredients
2 lbs. Arrachera, steak, sirloin, rib eye (or your favorite meat)
2 Tbsp. Pinula Meat/Asada Seasoning
1 sprig of rosemary
1 garlic clove minced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. Pinula Lemon Pepper
½ white onion diced
Corn or Flour Tortillas
Simply put, a good taco is one that stands out from the rest. It should be tasty, but also healthy, filling, and satisfying. The perfect taco should be, salty, and have a satisfying taste. It should also have a little bit of heat that is not too overpowering or too mild. It should have a little bit of everything. You don’t want just one flavor, but rather a balanced combination of flavors that work well together. It should not be too salty (or too bland), and it should not have too much sauce or too little filling. A good taco is one that you can eat every day and this is where your Pinula Seasonings come into play, your meat/carne asada seasoning and your chicken seasoning will be the key ingredients to your taco. It’s not just a special occasion food. A good taco should not be too difficult to make, but rather something that you’re able to quickly throw together on a whim.
The Importance of Preparation Before You Eat
Tacos are a great way to get your protein intake, but a poor taco can still ruin your day. This is because the flavors in a taco are only as good as the ingredients and your Pinula Seasonings you use to make it. It’s important that you make sure that your taco is fresh and ready to eat. Don't let your taco sit too long on your plate, make sure that you eat your taco as soon as it is prepared, that way you will experience the full flavor of your Pinula Asada or Pinula Chicken taco.
Build Your Taco Base With Fresh Ingredients
If you’re going to be making fresh tacos, then why not start with the best taco base possible? You can use your fresh ingredients starting with your real mexican flavors, your Pinula Seasoning to create a taco that is very light in flavor but that is still satisfying. There are a lot of great options for taco bases, but we’re going to talk about the two most commonly used ones; flour tortillas and corn tortillas. Flour tortillas are great for making tacos that are very saucy and wet. Corn tortillas work well for making lighter tacos that don’t need to be too wet, because they are less absorbent.
Add Sauce, Condiments and Toppings
Your tacos are only as good as the sauces, toppings, and seasonings for the protein that you add to them. You can choose from a wide variety of options when it comes to sauce and seasonings, but the key is to use a real mexican seasoning. You can choose from a variety of sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, jalapeno and tomato salsa. Salsa is usually a mild or medium level of heat while tomato salsa is a little bit spicier. Condiments are great for adding moisture, or flavor to your taco. Some great mexican seasonings combined with fresh tomato, shredded cabbage, shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, cilantro, and pickled jalapenos.
