Tacos are a favorite dish for many people, but making the perfect taco takes a little more than just throwing ingredients together. So here are a few easy tips to help you create delicious tacos every time! Choose the right tortillas MasterChef judge and Mexican cuisine expert Aarón Sánchez says there are three important elements to making the perfect taco — the tortilla, the fillings, and the toppings. You should choose what kind of tortilla to use depending on what kinds of fillings you have, Sánchez told Tasting Table. If your filling "has fur or is meat," you should use flour tortillas, because they're thicker and won't rip as easily. For all other, lighter fillings, like vegetables or beans, a corn tortilla is best. Traditional Mexican tacos are almost always made with soft tortillas — not the hard shells that have become popular in America. Use two tortillas for each taco If you've ever ordered from a taco truck, you might have noticed that there are two tortilla wraps around your taco. This is to keep the taco together. If one of the tortillas rips or breaks, your fillings won't fall out and make a mess! Add something pickled Sánchez adds pickled food to his tacos, to add a bright, tangy taste that balances out the rich meat and cheese. And it's easy to make your own pickled toppings! Take any leftover vegetables you have, put them in a mix of equal parts water and vinegar, add some sugar, salt and spices, then put it all in a sealed jar. After a day or two, you'll have your own fresh pickled vegetables! Spread your toppings early If you like sour cream or guacamole on your tacos, instead of putting them on top of your finished taco, try spreading them on your tortilla before you wrap it. This helps hold the fillings in place, and ensures that you get sour cream or guacamole with every bite!
