Taco Tuesday started as a hashtag and somehow became a genuine weekly institution in kitchens everywhere, and honestly, fair enough. There are very few meals that deliver this much fun for this little effort. Everything goes in the middle of the table, everyone builds their own, and the whole thing feels more like an event than a Tuesday night dinner. I came to tacos relatively late compared to people who grew up with them, but I’ve made up for lost time enthusiastically.

The thing about tacos is that the formula is simple but the variations are endless. Slow-cooked chipotle pork, spiced beef mince, crispy fish, charred vegetables. Salsas, slaws, pickled things, cooling cremas. You can go traditional or completely off-script and it works either way, because the whole point of taco night is that everyone gets exactly what they want. This collection is built around fillings and toppings that actually deliver, the kind that make Tuesday feel like the best night of the week.
