Taco Tuesday… on a Wednesday!
Taco day is when taco. I think for me it’ll be tomorrow.
In Mexico there is a phrase “comete un taco” (eat a taco) since a homemade taco is a tortilla with anything on it. We buy 1/2 - 1 kilo of (corn) tortillas for a family of four every day or every other day (depending on the food consumed) and it pairs really well with anything. E.g.:
- Eggs, salsa and tortillas
- Beans, cactus, salsa and tortillas
- Beef stew with rolled up tortillas
- Crunchy tortillas (slow comal/gridle heated to make them similar to a tostada, but without frying) with some sour cream, beans, lettuce and salsa
- Cheese quesadilla, generally salsa too (or even hot sauce) - optionally beans and/or some meat
- A taco similar to the one in the picture (maybe minus the cheese, but you could add it of course). These are a little harder to make since they call for specific meats or preparation, so they tend to be more commonly consumed from a vendor specializing in them.
- etc.
Since there is a tortilla in most homemade variations (the taco), everyday can be taco day. The salsa would mostly be served whatever you already have in the fridge, red, green, mild, spicy, etc. Sometimes flour tortillas are used, but corn is more common (and supposedly healthier according to the moms).
Man, now I’m hungry 😐
I can’t really buy good quality tortillas here in Germany. Even getting masa can be difficult. So I bought a tortilla press, have different dried varieties of chilis in storage, etc. But it’s a lot of hassle. I envy you (regarding the food. Germany has its perks too).

This shop helps a lot, for all the taco starved Germans here.
Nice tacos.

we used to do a ‘wildcard wednesday’, it was whatever leftovers there were–often still hanging around from the previous weekend.
These were actually leftovers from a taco themed pizza I had made. This picture was a memory from a Wednesday past 😂
