Can I make taco fillings ahead of time?
Yes, many taco fillings can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This is especially convenient for busy weeknights.
What toppings go well with tacos?
Classic toppings include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and salsa. Get creative with pickled onions, fresh herbs, and different types of cheese.
