“I hate tacos!” said no Juan ever! And that my friends, is why I’ve put together this delicious round up of my favorite tacos. One day, going through the boring side of this blog, you know, the side that you guys can’t see. The side that sometimes looks like gobbledy gook. The side that has the numbers and stuff. Looking around, I realized I have quite a few taco recipes and I talk about tacos – a lot. I said to myself, I said, “Self, put it all together in one spot so people can see all the glorious tacos…
Crazy Delicious Pork Tacos (or Nachos or Burritos)
Crazy delicious pork tacos in the slow cooker or oven – great for tacos, nachos, burritos. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. My heart belongs to tacos. Always has always will. Sorry wife.

Flavor bomb barbacoa – right in your Instant Pot. Taco Tuesday will never be the same! Ready to get bombed? No, not like that – put away that Jager. I’m talking about a bomb in your mouth.

Smoky Grilled Flank Steak Tacos
Yep, I’m back again with the tacos. Smoky flank tacos to boot! I really believe tacos make the world go round plus I got two new grills that I gotta use or Management, with a capital M, will be on my ass about why I have so many grills and blah, blah, blah. As long as Management is fed tacos, she won’t fuss about the grills. And she was pretty happy about these tacos. Easy, smoky spices and tender flank steak – it made for the perfect tacos. I’ve really got nothing too much to say about these tacos (haven’t I…
Healthy Shrimp Tacos
It’s here. It’s official. It’s hot. It’s summer. Summer here in Mobile is a very long, muggy, hot mess. The air is so thick you can cut it with a knife. In a nutshell, it sucks. We’re technically not there yet, where the heat makes you want to kill everyone you see because you’re so cranky. We’re not where all you want to do all day is lounge around in a bathtub full of ice – just you and beer, chillin’ in the tub. We’re not there yet, but believe me, I can feel it. We’re about 2 inches away.…
Beef Tongue – Lengua Tacos – Instant Pot & Stovetop
I don’t want you to go away – just hear me out. Beef tongue is so tender, so delicious, so easy in your pressure cooker, you just need it in your life. Trust me. How many times have I said it? I. Love. Tacos. Lengua tacos included. I get em when I see em on a menu, but never did I make it at home because until recently, beef tongue has been hard for me to find. Not even cattle farmers will sell it to me. But oddly enough, Wal-Mart has started carrying it, so when I saw it I…

Faux Jack in the Box Tacos
Faux Jack In The Box Tacos? Ridiculous sounding, I know. But yeah, it’s a part of my life, a delicious one I want to share with you. Maybe you’ve found yourself in the same disheartening situation as I did… When I was younger, I would smash my face into Jack In The Box tacos every chance I got. Monster tacos to be exact. Something about that questionable meat, the greasy fried goodness in that big shell. Good times. But, we don’t have one here in Mobile, Alabama. The nearest one is Baton Rouge. Not that far, true, but too far…
