Steak-and-Egg Tacos

We love tacos so much we think you should make them more than once a week! That's why we're sharing our favorite recipes for the beloved handheld dish, including renditions made with steak, fish, mushrooms, ground chicken, and so much more.

There are so many reasons why households across the country look forward to taco night: The dish is versatile, with so many different flavorful fillings to choose from; those soft, warm, and toasty tortillas are irresistibly tasty; and a seemingly endless variety of toppings mean that everyone can customize their meal to their liking. More reasons why we love them? Tacos are handheld and come in perfect pocket form, which makes them fun and easy to eat no matter your age. Plus, they're quick to put together and quick to clean up after—most recipes don't require much beyond a sauté pan and a bowl (or two) for toppings.  All of this is to say that we think tacos, like the Broiled Shrimp Tacos shown here, are the perfect meal, and we could eat them every day of the year, morning, noon, and night. This collection will focus on tacos for dinner, but we highly suggest that you try them for breakfast and lunch, too.

Tacos aren't just delicious—they can also be healthy, complete with all of the nutritional notes that we look for in a well-balanced dinner. Grilled chicken, steak, shrimp, avocado, or even tofu bring protein to the meal. Cheeses like cotija and pepper jack, or another dairy like sour cream, add a bit of fat. Add a spoonful of black or pinto beans to the mix to add fiber.

Half the fun of taco night is building your own customized meal, so make one of our favorite taco recipes from the selection here and pair them with your family's favorite garnishes. You can be sure that everyone will leave the dinner table with full bellies and their plates will be empty.

These tacos are inspired by the ever-popular Mexican birria; any leftover braised beef is perfect in this weeknight dinner. Corn tortillas take a soak in the flavorful braising liquid, then crisp up in a cast-iron pan.

Ground Chicken Tacos

For the purists out there, these tacos are made with homemade taco seasoning that tastes eerily similar to the store-bought pouch. Keep the meal lean by using dark-meat chicken or turkey, or go more classic with ground beef.

The broiler is this recipe's best friend—you'll achieve lots of flavor when you blast those poblanos. Pinto beans add creaminess, and a dollop of guacamole would definitely be welcomed.
