Baja-Style Cauliflower Tacos
A true Baja California experience requires sunny, breezy patios and a plate of tacos. We aimed to re-create the feel of a Baja-style fish taco in our home kitchen, instead bringing veggies to the forefront. We thought that battered cauliflower bites, drizzled with a cool and creamy vegan sauce, were the perfect vegan stand-in for the fish. We wanted to avoid the mess of deep-frying, so we cut the cauliflower into large florets and roasted them. To boost their flavor, we dunked the pieces in canned coconut milk seasoned with garlic and spices and then rolled them in a mixture of panko bread crumbs and shredded coconut.
Couscous Tacos
"From a vegetarian cookbook of mine. I love Couscous (KOOS-koos)- it is a quick-cooking grain made from ground semolina in the shape of very tiny beads, so it is a cool change from regular pasta! Also, I suppose you can use soft shell tacos shells, not just hard shell."
Bistec a la Yucateca Tacos (Yucatán Steak Tacos)
When Alex Henry reworked a classic dish from his childhood for his first restaurant, Sureste Mexican, a food hall spot in St. Louis, he also happened to engineer an exuberantly flavorful and smart steak taco for home cooks. Bistec a la Yucateca is a common main dish in the Yucátan peninsula often made with skirt or flank steak, but Mr. Henry uses its citrusy, earthy marinade on thinly sliced ribeye for tacos.
How To Make Easy Ground Beef Tacos
by Ashley Moore 6/3/20 AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN
I’ve been known to use a prefab packet of taco seasoning in a pinch, but there’s something disappointing about the resulting tacos. There are flavors I like but also a lingering dullness. I challenged myself to do better, to create a quick, weeknight-friendly ground beef taco filling using fresher ingredients but without creating more work.
Mexico City Tacos
Milk Street travels to Mexico City in search of tacos. Back in the kitchen, Chris uses what we learned to demonstrate succulent and complex Dutch Oven Beef Birria Tacos. Milk Street Cook Rayna Jhaveri then shows us how to make Fresh Tomatillo and Serrano Chili Salsa, a bright and tangy condiment. We conclude with Milk Street Cook Josh Mamaclay preparing easy, yet flavorful, Ancho-Spiced Pork and Potato Tacos.
Tacos: for Vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians
"This is the way I prepare tacos when cooking for my meat eating DH and my vegetarian DD. Sometimes this is served with taco shells and sometimes with flour tortillas."
Baja-Style Grilled Tempeh Tacos
"From the Veganomicon. I add lots of hot sauce to this (both in the lime creme and the tempeh marinade). It's very pretty with shredded purple cabbage, but you can substitute with lettuce if you'd prefer."

Whole Grilled Fish Tacos Recipe
by J. Kenji López-Alt 14/2/25 serious eats
When I'm making fish tacos, I'll take them crunchy and fried over grilled any day. Grilled fish tacos always just seemed like a sad, semi-health-conscious replacement to me. Like ordering a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a fried chicken sandwich or a light beer instead of a regular.

Fish Tacos
"This recipe is from Cuisine at Home. I made a few changes to suit our taste, but by far my families favorite. Prepare the tartar sauce and relish early. Prepare batter for dipping fish just before use."

Easy Fish Tacos
"This recipe is quick and easy but very delicious. My husband doesn't like fish but loves these fish tacos. I got raves at a neighborhood luncheon as well. This is my own recipe. I have eaten fish tacos in restaurants but mine are better except for maybe Rockfish's."

Family-Meal Fish Tacos
by Chad Shaner 11/8/25 Cooking
This is a fast, satisfying fish dinner with Cajun flavors. Chad Shaner cooked it for staff meals when he was a line cook at Union Square Cafe in Manhattan. It was, he said shyly when The Times talked to him in 2013, one of the restaurant staff's favorites. “Everyone loves taco day,” he said. The recipe is not particularly Mexican. Shaner hails from Smyrna, Del., and served in the Navy before he went to cooking school.
