            For the Tacos:

            Toppings (optional but highly encouraged):

            đŸ”„ 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 œ 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:

            đŸ”„ 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.

            Blend It Up:
            In a blender, combine the lemonade concentrate, tequila, triple sec, and ice. Blend on high until smooth and slushy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or lemon-lime soda to thin it out just a bit.

            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 sautĂ© 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.

            Taco Trend Alert: Why Birria is Still the Star of Taco Tuesday

            There’s no denying it—birria is having a moment, and that moment isn’t going anywhere. What started as a regional Mexican specialty has become a nationwide taco obsession, and it continues to evolve with new, crave-worthy twists.

            What Is Birria?
            Birria is a slow-stewed, deeply flavorful meat—traditionally beef or goat—braised in a rich, chili-forward consommĂ© until fall-apart tender. Originally from Jalisco, Mexico, birria has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of taco lovers everywhere.

            Enter the Quesabirria Taco
            The dish that kicked off the craze: quesabirria tacos. Think of it as a cross between a taco and a grilled cheese—crispy tortillas griddled in fat from the stew, stuffed with melty cheese and juicy birria, served with a side of consommĂ© for dipping. It’s bold, messy, and utterly satisfying.

            The Evolution of Birria
            Birria’s versatility has inspired some seriously creative spinoffs:

            Why It Still Reigns Supreme

            If you haven’t had birria lately, let Taco Tuesday be your excuse. Whether you try it at your favorite taco spot or simmer a pot at home, birria is still the taco to beat.

            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.

            National Taco Day Officially Moves To Tuesday Every Year!

            The latest milestone in Taco Bell’s ongoing Taco Tuesday journey moves this year’s National Taco Day from 10/4 to 10/1 and ensures the celebration will always fall on the first Tuesday of October

            Mark your calendars because National Taco Day is getting a new date thanks to the efforts of Taco Bell and support from National Day Calendar. As it stood, National Taco Day was annually celebrated on October 4, making the odds of a combined National Taco Day and Taco Tuesday an epically joyous rarity. To right this wrong, Taco Bell has worked tirelessly with the powers that be, in this case National Day Calendar, to move the National Taco Day recognition to fall solely on Tuesdays henceforth. The change will officially take place in 2024, moving National Taco Day from Friday, October 4 to Tuesday, October 1.

            The Official Day Calendar

            Official Taco Day Calendar

            National Taco Day

            Giving taco fans what they want, National Day Calendar and Taco Bell officially move National Taco Day to the first (Taco) Tuesday in October annually.

            Since 2013, National Day Calendar has been the original and authoritative entity curating, registering and celebrating national days, weeks, months and international days. Changes in the calendar, while not impossible, are a rarity.

            “For years, we’ve celebrated National Taco Day on October 4th, but it’s always felt like there was a bigger opportunity to align it with something even more special—Taco Tuesday,” said Marlo Anderson, founder of National Day Calendar. “Thanks to Taco Bell’s efforts, we’re excited to officially move National Taco Day to the first Tuesday in October, creating the Taco Tuesday of all Taco Tuesdays. National Day Calendar has always thrived on the grassroots support of people who love celebrating these moments, and this change is a perfect example of that. It’s more than just moving a date—it’s about bringing taco lovers together in a bigger way, and we couldn’t be more excited!”

            The History of National Taco Day

            National Taco Day began much earlier than the modernized and marketed celebration we know today. According to Gustavo Arellano, author of the 2012 book “Tacos USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America”, its origin can be dated back to the 1960’s in San Antonio, Texas from Roberto L. Gomez, Esq. While the celebration eventually grew from a day to a week, to eventually a month, National Taco Day was locally celebrated on May 3, celebrating the week leading up to Cinco de Mayo. While it was honored in some local areas, it sadly faded away and it wasn’t until 2009 when several businesses rallied behind a new day to mark the occasion, October 4. With the rise of internet culture, the popularity caught on and by 2013, National Taco Day cemented itself on the National Day Calendar to be celebrated on October 4.

            Enter Taco Bell


            Why the Move? Why Now?

            Since the turn of the century, only four times has National Taco Day landed on a Tuesday. Year over year, social conversations continue to rise around the discrepancy. Both Taco Bell and National Day Calendar have taken notice and decided to take action. Prior to Taco Bell’s efforts to free Taco Tuesday, a move like this would have had potential legal repercussions.

            Taco Bell’s Taco Tuesday History

            This isn’t Taco Bell’s first foray in taking bold actions in the name of Taco Tuesday lovers. The brand has a storied history dating back to early last year, when it filed legal petitions on May 16, 2023 to cancel the trademark registrations, liberating them for all to use. After six months of fighting the good fight, the phrase was officially liberated on October 24, 2023 in all 50 states.

            “When we liberated Taco Tuesday last year, we did it for all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos; but we couldn’t just stop there,” said Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery. “With National Taco Day coming up, it felt unnatural for it to not fall on a Tuesday, and as some of the biggest advocates of Taco Tuesday out there, we knew we had to help shift the holiday permanently to give taco makers and lovers the opportunity to celebrate bigger and better every year.”

            Celebrate National Taco Day Like Never Before

            To celebrate the momentous move of National Taco Day to its rightful home – Taco Tuesday – Taco Bell is planning a frenzy of Tuesday Drop celebrations kicking off on October 1 and continuing all month long. Fans are encouraged to mark the new date on their calendars, sign up for Taco Bell Rewards* and follow along on social channels to stay up to date on more celebration details being announced closer to the holiday.
