I love tacos because you can use any variety of ingredients and prep in advance or as you cook throughout the week {keep a little of this here and there type deal}, thus the name “perfect”.

Two types of taco recipes I like are here:

Grilled chicken tacos 

Start with

Corn tortilla

layer with

shredded white cheddar cheese

top with

Grilled chicken {seasoned with garlic, pepper, paprika, a little cayenne, and salt}

 add

red and yellow heirloom tomato chunks {for flavor and color}

add a little

fennel and corn slaw {or canned corn, fresh corn from the cob on it’s own, whatever you have… can do radish too}

finish with

red cabbage {thinly sliced then tossed in a mayo, Dijon mustard, and sriracha mix}

This is my favorite taco! It’s full of flavor, has a nice spice character to it, the flavor builds as you bite through, and the spice is coupled with just the right amount of tang. YUM. I love this in the Spring and Summer when the grill is ready to go, but you can also bake or saute your chicken for similar results.

 

Next on my list of “Perfect” tacos

Grilled shrimp

Toss your shrimp in a spice mix: Uncle Timmy’s Spice Rub {if you have it- coming soon to my site :), otherwise you can use salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and celery salt}. Grill shrimp and slice into pieces.

Start with

Corn tortilla

sprinkle with

white cheddar cheese

top with

shrimp

add

corn and fennel slaw {or a sweet slaw of your choice…onion and corn}

finish with

romaine lettuce

and

red cabbage {thinly sliced then tossed in a mayo, Dijon mustard, and relish…yes similar to thousand island dressing}

These tacos are kid tested! My boys love them and my husband does too! They’re healthy, flavorful, and you can always prep ahead. So remember, a good, delicious dinner does not have to take forever or take a lot of effort!

**Make this Whole30 by using romaine as the taco, eliminating the mayo and relish, corn, and cheese. Instead use extra cabbage, chicken or shrimp, siracha, and add balsamic to the tomatoes for a little flare.

Cheers!
