              Instructions

              1. Crisp the Turkey Carnitas
                Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

                Spread the turkey out and let it cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes so it crisps.

              Golden Tacos or Taco Dorados? Unveiling the Delicious Truth + Recipe

              The Satisfying Crunchy Taco!

              In the vibrant world of Mexican cuisine, names may differ, but the flavors speak the same delicious language. Golden Tacos and Taco Dorados are in fact, two names for the same delectable dish that’s a staple at family dinners and street food stands alike. Known for their crispy exterior and savory fillings, these tacos are a crowd-pleaser that brings the essence of Mexican culinary tradition to your table. Let’s unravel the mystery behind these names and dive into an authentic recipe to celebrate the universal love for these golden, crispy delights.

              Golden Tacos and Taco Dorados: Two Names, One Delicious Dish

              The name game in cuisine can often lead to confusion, but in the case of Golden Tacos and Taco Dorados, the different titles refer to the same mouthwatering concept. “Golden” in English is a direct translation of the Spanish “Dorados,” both describing the beautiful golden-brown color these tacos take on after being fried to perfection. No matter what you call them, they deliver a satisfying crunch and burst of flavor with every bite.

              Authentic Golden Tacos (Taco Dorados) Recipe

              Ingredients

              Instructions

              Prepare the Filling:

              Take your shredded chicken (or alternative filling) and season it with salt and any additional spices you prefer. Set it aside.

              Soften the Tortillas:

              To make the tortillas pliable for folding, warm them up in a skillet for about 15-20 seconds per side or until they are soft and warm. Do not overcook, as they will become crispy and difficult to fold.

              Fill and Fold:

              Place about two tablespoons of filling on one half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling and press down gently to seal.

              Fry the Tacos:

              In a large skillet, heat half an inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, fry the tacos in batches, turning once, until they are golden and crispy on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

              Garnish and Serve:

              Serve your Golden Tacos (Taco Dorados) hot, garnished with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, a dollop of sour cream, and your favorite salsa.

              Whether you call them Golden Tacos or Taco Dorados, one thing remains constant – they’re an irresistible part of Mexican cuisine. This recipe is a testament to the simple yet profound flavors that have made these tacos a beloved choice across borders. They are perfect for a family dinner, a festive gathering, or simply when the craving for something crispy and savory strikes on a Taco Night.

              Crispy Perfection: Chicken and Jack Tostadas

              There’s something irresistible about the crunch of a tostada

              That perfect moment when the crisp tortilla gives way to creamy beans, juicy chicken, melted cheese, and a swirl of salsa. It’s unapologetically messy in the best way.

              But behind that perfect bite lies centuries of tradition.

              The word tostada simply means “toasted” in Spanish, but its story begins long before Spanish arrived in the Americas. Ancient Mesoamerican civilizations like the Aztecs and Mayans were already crafting corn tortillas a staple born from nixtamalization, the process of soaking corn in limewater to unlock its nutrients and create masa.

              When tortillas went stale, they were toasted or fried to extend their life and that’s where the tostada was born. Over time, this practical technique became a culinary art form, layered with beans, meats, vegetables, and sauces. From the markets of Oaxaca to the coasts of Sinaloa, tostadas became a celebration of texture and flavor a symbol of resourcefulness and joy in everyday cooking.

              Recipe: Chicken Tostadas with Shredded Jack Cheese

              Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes

              Ingredients

              Instructions

              Taco Tuesday Tip:

              If you want that cheese perfectly melted, pop your assembled tostadas (without the lettuce and crema) under the broiler for 1–2 minutes. The Monterey Jack becomes bubbly and golden — total flavor bliss.

              Pair It With:
              Your Maracujá Margarita the bright, tropical sweetness of passion fruit complements the savory crunch of these tostadas beautifully.

              The American cheese melts right into the meat, making it saucy and indulgent.

              For the Smash Sauce:

              Instructions

              2. Toast the Tortillas – Warm your tortillas on a dry skillet or griddle for 30 seconds per side, then keep them wrapped in a clean towel so they stay soft and pliable.
              3. Smash the Burgers – Divide the ground beef into 8 equal balls.
              4. Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot.
              5. Place 2-3 beef balls on the surface and immediately smash each one flat with a metal spatula (you can use parchment paper to prevent sticking).
              6. Season with salt and pepper.
              7. Cook until crispy on the edges about 1½ minutes then flip.
              8. Lay American cheese on each patty to melt while the other side cooks for another minute.
              9. Assemble the Tacos – Place each cheesy burger patty directly on a warm tortilla.
                Top with shredded lettuce, thin red onion slices, and a drizzle of Smash Sauce.
                Fold slightly or serve open-faced, taco style.

              Spice it up: Add jalapeños or swap the sauce for a spicy chipotle mayo.

              Tacos Guatemaltecos: Crispy Fried Tacos

              🛒 Ingredients
              For the Potato Filling:

              For the Tacos:

              Toppings (optional but highly encouraged):

              🔥 Instructions

              1. Boil and Mash the Potatoes
                Place cubed potatoes in salted water and boil until fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain, then mash with butter, milk or crema (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The texture should be creamy but thick enough to hold its shape.
              2. Warm the Tortillas
                To prevent cracking, warm corn tortillas slightly on a griddle or in the microwave with a damp towel for about 30 seconds.
              3. Assemble the Tacos
                Spoon a heaping tablespoon of mashed potatoes onto one half of each tortilla. Fold over to create a half-moon shape and secure with a toothpick.
              4. Fry Until Golden
                Heat oil in a skillet (about ½ inch deep) over medium-high heat. Carefully place tacos in hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
              5. Top & Serve
                Remove toothpicks. Pile on shredded lettuce, a drizzle of crema, crumbled queso, salsa, and any other toppings you love. Serve hot and crispy!

              💛 Why We Love Tacos Dorados de Papas
              They’re budget-friendly, vegetarian, and irresistibly crispy—the perfect intersection of comfort and crunch. Plus, they’re endlessly customizable. These tacos make an excellent addition to any taco bar, and kids and adults alike will keep coming back for more.

When spooned generously over juicy grilled chicken and smoky-sweet roasted red peppers, it adds brightness, depth, and irresistible herbal flavor. Serve them on soft flour tortillas for the perfect balance of chew and comfort.

              🛒 Ingredients
              For the Chicken:

              For the Chimichurri:

              🔥 Instructions

              1. Marinate the Chicken
                In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss chicken to coat. Let marinate for 15–30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
              2. Make the Chimichurri
                In a food processor or blender, combine parsley, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until finely chopped but not fully pureed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
              3. Roast the Red Peppers
                Preheat oven to 400°F (or use a grill). Toss sliced red peppers with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are slightly charred and softened.
              4. Cook the Chicken
                Grill or pan-cook the chicken over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F), about 6–8 minutes per side. Rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly.
              5. Warm the Tortillas
                Heat flour tortillas on a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.
              6. Assemble the Tacos
                Layer warm tortillas with sliced chicken, roasted red peppers, and a generous spoonful of chimichurri. Add optional toppings if desired, and finish with a squeeze of lime.

              🌮 Why You’ll Love It
              These tacos are herby, juicy, bright, and just the right amount of indulgent. The chimichurri offers a refreshing contrast to the smoky chicken, and roasted red peppers bring a hint of natural sweetness. They’re perfect for impressing guests—or just treating yourself midweek.

              How to Make It

              1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes
                Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
                Wash and halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet.
                Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelized on the edges. Let cool slightly.
              2. Cook the Ground Meat
                While the potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat.
                Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes until soft.
                Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds, then add ground meat.
                Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 5 minutes until fully seasoned and saucy.
              3. Assemble Your Sweet Potato Tacos
                Scoop out just a little of the center of each sweet potato half to create a “shell” or well. (Snack on the scooped bits or mash them for a side dish.)
                Spoon in the ground meat mixture generously.
                Top with a dollop of sour cream, a scoop of guacamole, and any extras like jalapeños or cilantro.

              Birria: A Taste of Mexico’s Culinary Tradition for Your Slow Cooker

              Birria, a savory meat stew from Mexico, has steadily gained popularity across the globe. With its deep roots in Mexican culture, this dish is a delightful mix of tradition, flavor, and history. Let’s dive into the past of this beloved dish and discover a simplified slow-cooker version to make your next Taco Tuesday truly exceptional.

              A Brief History of Birria

              Originating from the state of Jalisco, birria is traditionally made with goat meat, though beef and lamb have become popular alternatives in various regions and among different chefs. Historically, birria was eaten during festive occasions like weddings, baptisms, and major holidays, especially in the areas surrounding Guadalajara, Jalisco’s capital.

              The name “birria” might derive from the Spanish word “birrioso” (or berrinchudo), which means irritable or angry, possibly alluding to the spicy and vibrant nature of the stew. The dish is traditionally slow-cooked in large clay pots buried underground, sealing in all the juicy, rich flavors.

              While initially regional, birria’s appeal spread throughout Mexico, with each region introducing its unique twists. Now, the magic of birria has made its way north to the United States and beyond, particularly in taco form.

              Slow Cooker Birria Recipe

              Embrace the convenience of modern cookery while honoring tradition with this slow-cooker birria recipe.

              Ingredients:

              Instructions:

              A taste of Jalisco right in the comfort of your home. Whether it’s a special occasion or Taco Tuesday, this slow-cooker birria is delicious.
