Taco Tuesday is something we can all get behind, right? Not only does everyone love a taco bar, but it’s easy to pull off after a busy day of work and allows everyone (including picky eaters!) to build their own. Whether you make them with a crowd-pleasing vegetarian mixture or an impressive (but actually hands-off) slow-cooked pork shoulder filling, these taco recipes are going to make Tuesday your favorite day of the week.
Grilled Short Rib Tacos with Charred Salsa Roja
We’re really excited to share our latest Goodtaste original recipe with you because it produces phenomenal results without any extra effort. You can use flank or skirt steak if you prefer, but we highly recommend boneless short ribs for richer, beefier flavor. An easy homemade salsa of charred tomatoes and onion adds more smokiness to the tacos.
Slow-Cooker Pork Tacos
This Goodtaste original recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight. Set it up in the slow cooker before you leave for work, then return home to a fantastic-smelling kitchen and perfectly tender pork shoulder. We use cola as the braising liquid, which both tenderizes the meat and flavors it with its natural sugars. You only need 1½ cups for this recipe, so seek out Mexican cola if you can find it.
Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas
This super-easy fajita recipe from Cooking Light uses only a rimmed baking sheet and your broiler, making for very easy cleanup. To make this dish even easier, pick up pre-sliced bell peppers in your grocery store’s produce section and pre-sliced fajita steak in the refrigerated meat aisle or in the frozen foods section.
Garden Salad Tacos
When you’re trying to be healthy, but all you really want is tacos, this recipe is for you! Vegetable whisperer Alice Waters created these genius vegetarian tacos for Food & Wine. The warm tortillas paired with the melted cheese and crunchy vegetables make for a perfect bite. And no need to feel guilty about having seconds of this one!
Beef and Bean Taco Skillet
Our friends at Goya Foods created this one-skillet taco filling that utilizes a bunch of canned ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Pick up some fresh tortillas and ground beef on your way home, then the rest of this hearty meal comes together in under 30 minutes.
Tequila-Chipotle Shrimp Tacos
This recipe from Food & Wine takes just—no joke—12 minutes! Thanks to quick-cooking shrimp and canned chipotle in adobo, you can make this super-flavorful taco filling fast. Serve it up in tortillas with all the toppings or spoon over rice and vegetables for a taco bowl.
