Tacos; they need their own food group. I mean, what is better than a taco? Each bite is filled with intense flavor, you can fill them with anything and everything imaginable, and they’re just downright delicious! There doesn’t need to be much explanation as to why they’re one of my favorite foods! Being from San Diego has turned me into somewhat of a taco connoisseur, so after I moved to Florida, I had a hard time finding a taco that I deemed Taco Tuesday worthy – so, I started making them! From carne asada, to Beer Battered fish, grilled fish, veggie/vegan tacos, and my amazing pollo asada tacos that are on this post! These will have you ready for taco night any day of the week!
