Choosing between soft and hard taco shells depends on personal preference and the type of taco experience you desire. Soft taco shells, typically made from flour or corn tortillas, offer a more pliable and chewy texture, making them easy to fold and less likely to break when filled. They are ideal for tacos that require a lot of filling or sauces, as they can hold more without falling apart. Hard taco shells provide a satisfying crunch and are great for adding texture contrast to the fillings. They are often pre-shaped into a U and can hold less filling, making them perfect for lighter, crispier tacos. Both types have their own appeal, so it’s worth trying both to see which you prefer.

Tacos pair well with a variety of side dishes that complement their flavours and enhance the overall meal. Classic sides include Mexican rice, which is often flavoured with tomato, garlic, and onions, and refried beans, which add a creamy, savoury element to the meal. Fresh salads like a simple lettuce and tomato salad with lime dressing or a zesty coleslaw provide a refreshing contrast. Grilled street corn, or elote, topped with mayonnaise, cheese, lime, and chilli powder, is another popular choice. Guacamole, salsa, and tortilla chips are also great accompaniments, offering additional flavours and textures. These sides not only balance the meal but also add variety and colour to your taco spread.

Yes, making taco shells from scratch is a rewarding process that allows for customisation and freshness. For soft taco shells, you can make flour or corn tortillas using simple ingredients like flour or masa harina, water, salt, and a bit of fat such as lard or vegetable oil. The dough is rolled out into thin circles and cooked on a hot skillet until they are soft and pliable. For hard taco shells, you can use corn tortillas, fry them in hot oil until they are crispy, and shape them into a U while they are still warm. Homemade taco shells have a delicious flavour and texture that can elevate your taco experience.

Preventing taco shells from breaking when filling them involves a few careful steps. For hard taco shells, gently warming them in the oven for a few minutes can make them more pliable and less likely to crack. When filling tacos, avoid overloading them with too many ingredients or heavy, wet fillings that can cause the shell to break. Start with a base layer of protein or beans, and then add smaller amounts of toppings. Using a balance of dry and moist ingredients helps maintain the integrity of the shell. For soft taco shells, ensuring they are fresh and properly heated makes them more flexible and easier to handle without tearing.

Keeping a variety of common ingredients on-hand ensures you can quickly assemble delicious tacos. Essential proteins include ground beef, chicken, pork, or beans, which can be seasoned with taco spices. Fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and avocados are key for toppings. Stock up on spices such as cumin, chilli powder, garlic powder, and paprika to create flavorful taco seasoning. Cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro add rich and creamy elements. Corn or flour tortillas are a must-have for the base. Additionally, having salsa, hot sauce, and lime wedges ready can enhance the overall flavour of your tacos. With these ingredients, you can easily prepare a variety of taco styles at any time.
