Tortillas and Toppings

Method

Protein Preparation

  1. 1

    Grilled Chicken

    If using grilled chicken, marinate the chicken breast in spicy chicken marinade for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.

  2. 2

    Beer-Battered Cod

    For the beer-battered cod, prepare the batter by mixing 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of beer, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Dip the cod pieces in the batter and fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Steak

    For the steak, season with salt and pepper. Preheat a skillet over high heat and sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas on a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill Tortillas

    Place a portion of your chosen protein (grilled chicken, beer-battered cod, or steak) in the center of each tortilla.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa on top.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
