30 Best Taco Recipes – Easy Taco Recipes

We don’t mess around when it comes to tacos. Whether it’s Taco Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, or just another weeknight, tacos show up on our kitchen table more often than we’d like to admit. We love how wrapping pretty much anything in a corn tortilla or flour tortilla turns it into a killer meal. Check out our list of 30 of our favorite tacos—we bet you’ll find a new flavor combo you love.

We’ve got all the most popular standards here, including basic recipes for fish tacos, chicken tacos, and pork tacos. You could just use whatever leftovers you got and put them in a warmed tortilla (it’s one of our favorite crazy simple lunches), but if you want something to really wow your tastebuds, you’ve got to add more flavor to your meat. Taco seasoning is an obvious pick (get store-bought or make your own), but we’re talking even wilder than that. Our beef birria quesatacos rely on three different types of chilis and spices (like sweet cinnamon—trust us, it works!) to get their flavor. Our tequila-lime chicken tacos go a little brighter by relying on a margarita for their flavor inspiration. Or try our Cajun shrimp tacos with mango-avocado salsa: The Louisiana Cajun spices will taste just familiar enough, while also adding something new and exciting, and the salsa helps cut through all the heat.

And don’t worry, it’s not just meat on this list. We’ve also included a few of our favorite vegan and vegetarian options here too, like our air fryer cauliflower tacos, our chipotle lentil tacos, or our buffalo cauliflower tacos. They’ve got SO much flavor, you won’t miss the meat. While we’re pretty happy to eat tacos for any meal, we’ve also included our specifically breakfast tacos (with eggs, ofc) and our death by chocolate taco, in case you were craving a crunchy dessert.
