Few things are as beloved in Mexico, both for locals and tourists alike, than the traditional street taco. Small taco shops and even smaller taco carts across Mexico spit out hundreds of tacos a day. These tacos typically start with a protein, and then topped simply with cilantro, onion, and lime juice. These street tacos are traditionally "double-wrapped," using two soft corn tortillas instead of just one.
While the recipe below prepares street tacos using carne asada, this recipe would be equally delicious using seared chicken, carnitas, and even ground beef. These tacos are authentic enough to serve any Mexican missing their hometown, but can also be served at a party with both kids and adults. Everyone loves being able to create their own taco!
