Notes about Recipes in this book

  • All-American ground turkey taco

    • Kitiara121 on March 29, 2023

      Used this recipe as a Basis for dinner. Changes made: Half Turkey, Half Ground Beef. Didn't add the fresh corn but served with Mexican Street Corn instead (which as wonderful added as a topping in the taco). All in all this recipe provided a good starting place.

  • Avocado-lime cream

    • Breadcrumbs on June 12, 2012

      p. 208 A unique and flavourful sauce that paired perfectly with our somewhat dry chorizo empanadas. I made the dish as written with the exception of using Mexican crema in place of sour cream. Since the crema is thinner than sour cream I used about 1/4 c more than required and, reduced the amount of cream accordingly. This also served to reduce the fat (hah!). This made far more than we needed however it kept very well in the fridge and worked really well w nacho chips. I’d definitely make this again.

Publishers Text

Like a blank canvas but much tastier, the ubiquitous corn or flour tortilla is the perfect vehicle for every sort of food. And taco-making-the art of filling tortillas with dozens of zesty and unexpected concoctions-turns the ordinary into the irrepressible.

Victoria Wise and Susanna Hoffman, both life-long tortilla aficionados, fill them with Fiesta Ground Beef, Chicken Mole, Spicy Shrimp Salad, Green Olive Cilantro Salsa Ancho Chili Sauce, Pear Lime Salsa, and much more.

Here are over 200 recipes for well-filled tortillas. Tacos from around the world-Portuguese-style Grilled Fish Taco, Oriental Stir-Fry Beef Taco, Thai-Style Shrimp Taco, add variety to the spice of such Cal-Mex favorites as Basic Beef Fajita Taco, Black Bean Taco, Chorizo Taco, Snapper Vera Cruz Taco, and Taco de Carnitas. Dessert tacos and tostada sundaes bring the most festive food into the most festive course.

Whether store-bought or home-pressed (the recipes are here, for corn and flour), a stack of tortillas means delicious, down-home, fun food for any occasion-to eat with your fingers in messy splendor.
