Today I am going to show you how to make assorted tacos. You can quickly make these as a lunch or even a perfect party snack. Have you ever been in a situation where you have leftover meat and needed a way to get rid of them? Tacos are the best way to re-make leftovers.

These Mexican flavour bombs are really easy to make and can be the life of the party. personally, I use leftover meat to make tacos the next day. It is a really flavourful way to recycle food without wasting it. You can always use the leftover meat from barbecues or even roasted meat to turn them into tortilla-wrapped delights.

FAQs about assorted tacos

Are tacos spicy?

Authentic Mexican tacos are not as spicy but you can always add more spice to them as per your preference. If you want to make tacos a little bit spicier, add more paprika to the filling. This will make the overall tacos spicy. You can also add jalapeños if you wish to make them spicy.

Can you make assorted tacos with leftover rotis?

Generally, tacos are made with tortilla. However, you can also use leftover rotis to make tacos. Though they won’t have the same texture, it is a good way to reduce food waste. You can also use leftover naan or any type of Indian bread to make tacos.

Are tacos safe for kids?

Tacos have a really subtle flavour and are naturally healthy. You can also improvise the fillings and make them more healthy. Moreover, you can add superfoods like avocado, kale and lime to the fillings and make them healthy for the kids.

Additional FAQs

How should I heat up my tortillas?

If you’ve got a gas burner, turn it to medium-low and place your tortillas directly on the burner. Let toast a few seconds (you can always peek using some tongs) flip, and toast some more. Not only will this give your tortillas some nice smoky flavour, it’ll also make them more pliable. Never walk away from the stove when you’re toasting tortillas on an open flame, no one wants to deal with a flaming tortilla!

Can I marinade these assorted tacos/tortillas?

Absolutely! Add sliced chicken to a large resealable bag and pour in olive oil, fresh lime juice, chilli powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade and heat a little more oil in a skillet. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through!
