Tuesday isn’t the only day my family loves to eat shredded pork tacos for dinner.
I really enjoy serving tacos for dinner! Do you know why? Because, tacos are great to customize. Everyone at the table is happy. Each person can add as many or as little “extras” as they choose, which makes dinner time so pleasant.
As you can see by the pictures I am definitely a taco purist. I don’t like piling up a ton of “extras” on my tacos. If you do, here are a few of my suggestions:
- Avocado
- Salsa, Salsa Verde, or a Sweet Salsa (Mango, Pineapple, or any other sweet salsa)
- Tomatoes
- Cheese
- Cole Slaw
- Jalapeno’s
- Sour Cream
- Bell Peppers
- Green Onions
- Corn
