The people of Mexico have been enjoying the sweet simplicity of tacos for centuries, but here in the United States, we are just finally beginning to fully embrace the kind of magic that can be found wrapped in a tortilla. In the past few years taco trucks have been popping up on city street corners making the versatile food more accessible than ever. Today we celebrate that versatility with a few creative and inspiring recipes from across the blogosphere that can be altered in any way to suite your own taste and mood.
Let's kick things off with the bold bloggings of Jason's BBQ Adventures and this zesty recipe for Tequilla-Lime Shrimp Tacos. A sort of Mexican take on beer-battered chicken or whiskey beef, this tequila soaked recipe is both authentic and refreshingly unique all at once.
Our next recipe comes from Celebration's own expert, Jeanne Benedict, and offers a Southeast Asian twist on traditional tacos.
