Here’s a challenge: Try to find one living person who doesn’t like tacos, as much-loved here in the U.S. as they are in their native Mexico. The premise of a taco is simple: tortillas wrapped around the savory filling of your choice—chicken, goat, beef, or fish—and doused with sauce, some greens, and maybe cheese. In addition to irresistible flavors, tacos are surprisingly easy to make once you master a few key steps. This how-to will develop our skills and get your creativity juices flowing.

Tortilla, meat and vegetables are the starting point, but we love how versatile tacos can be. To prove it, we’re giving you ten of our favorite taco recipes, each of which features a delicious variation on the basics.
