Method

Protein Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Protein

    Choose your desired protein. If using tri-tip, season it with salt and pepper, then grill or smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare. For carnitas, slow-cook in a pot with spices until tender, then shred. For smoked chicken, season and smoke until fully cooked. For mushroom mole, sauté mushrooms until golden, then mix with mole sauce and simmer until heated through.

Tortilla Preparation

  1. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the white corn tortillas in the skillet, warming each side for about 30 seconds until pliable. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each warm tortilla, add a portion of your chosen protein. Top with fresh cilantro and diced onions. Drizzle with both house-made salsa verde and salsa roja to taste.
