Let’s talk tacos.
They are my perfect food.
I’d gladly serve and eat them everyday if I could and never get sick of them.
Tacos are just good, easy, fun – and so adaptable.
Growing up we really did have tacos every other night. Ok, maybe not every other night, but at least two or three times a week. At least.
Of course back then they were only straight up beef tacos with a very generous amount of taco seasoning. No tomatoes, no lettuce no avocados, no salsa, no guacamole and definitely no crema.
Just ground beef, flour tortillas for the boys, hard tortillas for Mom and I, a ton of cheddar cheese and salad for Dad, where my mom and I might steal some lettuce from .
Sometimes on very rare occasions Mom and I would get our way and get turkey tacos, but to be honest that only happened if we were able to sneak the turkey meat into the pan without the boys finding out.
Tacos were just easy and everyone liked them. Well not everyone, my dad would alway makes himself salads every night for dinner.
Like every night.
No exaggeration.
When we were younger we ate boring, boring food. Chicken, tacos, chicken, tacos, steak, chicken and rice with everything. No exaggeration there either. We had rice practically every night and we still have it a lot.
We love rice.
No actually my Mom loves rice and everybody else has learned to love it and want it with practically everything, because of her.
My dad actually likes good food.
Not a whole lot of beef or chicken, but lots of fish, vegetables, tons of spicy food and cheese. But we all love cheese. Cheese is at the top of the food chain around here.
So my poor dad ate salad every almost night for like fourteen years. Then I came in and took over the kitchen and he finally started getting food good enough to retire the salads.
But he still does love a good salad.
In fact this salad is his all time favorite……
Buffalo sauce is his absolute favorite… on anything.
Anyway, we still like tacos around here. We just can’t break the taco habit.
And yes, we still have them once a week. The boys though? Yeah, they still eat them like every other night, but they are picky and will not eat much of anything else.
So these are different.
I know.
But I promise the sweetness from the sweet potato is so amazing with the spicy chorizo, like so amazing.
And then with the sweet corn and black bean salsa and the roasted avocado cream?
Oh man, if only you knew. It’s so good.
And so much better than plain beef tacos. That I know for sure.
Plus, there is no oven involved.
Yes, NO oven!! I did it, I made a meal that you actually do not need to turn the oven on for. Can I please get a round of applause?
No?
Ok fine, just make the tacos tonight. You can all clap then!

I love taco Tuesday!
Lol… I’d certainly give you an applause for this amazingly creative idea! I would never have thought to combine these ingredients but by the looks of your gorgeous pics it certainly looks like it works. Tacos are awesome. Can’t wait to make these for my husband (who’d eat tacos for dessert…oh, there’s an idea! 🙂
Thank you so much, Tina!!Oh and I already have a dessert tacos recipe. I told you we really like tacos!
Oh man, I could eat tacos every night for dinner and not be bored. Scratch that — I could eat THESE tacos every night for dinner. So yum!
Haha! Thank you, Stephanie!
I love sweet potatoes, fab taco idea!
Thanks so much, Laura!
I could eat tacos every day for ever. Ohhhh dayummm
Tacos rule! Thanks Megan!
There is so much happiness going on in these tacos.
Haha, I agree!
Wow, these look amazing! I love all the bright beautiful colors going on here. It’s so perfectly summer.
I love tacos, even though I’m pretty boring; meat, cheese, sour cream. Done. xD But that corn and black bean salsa looks outstanding, and it might just change my life.
Thank you for the great recipe!
Also, I have to take a minute to ask you about cameras. Lately I’ve been thinking seriously about investing in a really nice DSLR camera, but I really don’t know where to start. What kind of camera do you use? Because your pictures are swoon worthy.
Or, what kind of cameras would you recommend? Thanks! 🙂
I use a canon EOS 60D with a 50mm macro lens. I love my canon, but it is also the only camera i have ever had, so I do not have anything to compare it to. But I do love it! I think it is worth a little research though to find a camera that is right for you. One that is easy to use and beginner friendly, but then again I learned by trial and error and tons and tons of reading. Ugh, sorry I am such am bad advice giver. LOL!
Thanks for your kind words and let me know if you need anymore help!!
Yum. Yum. Yum. You are so creative and I love the flavors you combine! These look delish-i-o-soooo!!!
Thank you so much, Robyn!
Yum x 100. These look great. I love tacos and try to put a new spin on them so they don’t get boring. Definitely adding these to my taco queue 🙂
Not a huge fan of chorizo (I don’t eat pork), so I’ll probably find a turkey replacement.
I am sure turkey will be delicious! Thanks Crystal, I hope you love these!
Mexican food is my happy place. I can’t get enough of it. These tacos are so drool-worthy! Love the poblano avocado crema!! Must make this.
Oh yeah, mexican food is so my happy place! LOL!
Thanks Laura!
Me + Mexican food = Marriage and Happy Life
You can never go wrong with a good taco or anything Mexican related.
Agree! Thanks Meagan!
How much Greek Yogurt? Looks great.
1/4 cup and I fixed the recipe. Sorry about that!!
Hope you love these!
Thanks Lori!
