Who doesn't love tacos?
Okay, actually don't ever ask me that because sometimes I just don't want tacos, but my partner could eat them every single day of his life and as long as he's cooking them I'll eat without complaint. Plus, they're simple to make when you don't feel like breaking out all the gluten free supplies I require for just about any other thing we cook.
This cookbook came at the perfect time, we'd gotten into the habit of buying the same supplies for tacos every single week and they became boring. Two days a week, the same tacos, the same salsa, the same everything. I easily could have looked up some recipes, but Laura Fuentes' tried and true Taco Tuesday Cookbook recipes come with pretty photos, homemade tortilla recipes, and ideas for combinations I would've never thought to do myself. Come on, a chickpea taco? It should've been named after me, I actually could it this one everyday. There's breakfast tacos, tacos with zucchini, simple fridge-grab tacos, and more complicated recipes like Jamaican Jerk Taco that'll certainly spice up your Tuesday evening dining. The book features 52 recipes and tons of gorgeous, colorful photos that will leave you salivating and eager to eat just one more taco.

I have never had tacos outside of a restaurant, but since a lot of my US American friends are talking about tacos often, I thought this might be a good start to making my own.

The pictures to the recipes look inviting, nope, they look drool-worthy. The recipes seem to be easy to follow and reach from different dressings, guacamole and different tortillas to breakfast, chicken, beef, pork, and seafood tacos. There's even a small section on traditional beverages.

The book has enough recipes to get you through a whole year of Taco Tuesdays, there's a plan at the end of the book in case you want to join the Taco Tuesday fun on social media. ( )

If you are like the author and are obsessed with tacos then The Taco Tuesday Cookbookwill be your go-to guide to creating a variety of tasty tacos. For those who have never tried tacos before, this guide will help you mix and match a wide variety of flavors and ingredients.

Beginning with a brief introduction, author Laura Fuentes encourages the reader to experiment with her recipes. Swap out some of the toppings or sauces and you can create even more recipe combinations.

The first chapter includes a brief description of the Taco Tuesday weekly party, followed by the information on how to mix it up with the ingredients, and taco basics.

The recipes themselves all include the yield, a brief description, and easy to follow instructions. Many have only a few ingredients, and while some may call for ingredients which are not included in your pantry at the moment, they are fairly easy to source.

The first chapter “The Essentials“ includes recipes that will be used often throughout the book. Guacamole, salsa, chimichurri are all here along with various types of tortillas.

Tacos, Tacos, Tacos! Is Chapter 2. This is the recipes chapter which is broken up into several sections:

Breakfast Tacos
Vegetarian Tacos
Chicken Tacos
Beef Tacos
Pork Tacos
Tacos Del Mar

Chapter 3 is Mas! Refreshing Beverages with staple drink recipes from Spanish and Mexican households.

Most of the recipes even include a full-page full-color photo which helps visualize the finished results. A weekly plan is included at the end of the book, followed by an index.

Impressive Variety

The sheer level of variety included in this book is quite impressive. The inventiveness and the interesting combinations of flavors ensure everyone will find something they will enjoy.

The Taco Tuesday Cookbook by Laura Fuentes
52 Tasty Taco Recipes to make every week the best ever

The idea of planning weekly menus around themes for each day usually includes Taco Tuesday and that usually means to me anything Mexican BUT in this book the idea is that with these recipes one can create a different taco recipe every Tuesday of the year and enjoy every one of them without repeating a recipe.

This book begins with an introduction to the author and how she became interested in tacos when she moved to the USA from Spain. She had never had one before and her introduction to tacos not the best BUT that all changed soon after.

After the introduction:
*Essentials: guacamole & salsas, sauces, tortillas (including pancakes and grain free tortillas), and seasonings
*Tacos, Tacos, Tacos: Breakfast, vegetarian, chicken, beef, pork and del mar
*Mas Refreshing Beverages
*Weekly Plan for the year
*Index

The photographs are gorgeous. The recipes are easy to follow with easily found ingredients. How to make tortillas is included along with recipes for seasonings and everything else. The tortilla seems to be a base for the filling but in the photos there is so much filling that it seems more of a tostada than an easy to pick up taco with the tortilla more of a base than anything else. That said…boy did those fillings look tasty! There are recipes that are perhaps fusion as recipes included inspiration from Korea, Thailand, America, Greece, Asia and popular tastes such as philly cheesesteak and buffalo chicken.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.
