Just like Burrito, crunchwrap, Quesadilla, Taco is one another recipe, we ordered on our visit at Taco Bells.
As always, this was my first trial of making Tocos. And it came out really well.
And you won’t believe it, whatever I post here is always my first take. You can make it out by seeing my Hard Taco shell, It has a cracky texture from the sides. I could have made it in a proper shape, but then I thought:
That will be again an extra step for me and for you as well.
Second, after frying it, I told myself “not bad haanh” ultimately, the taste is what matters the most. Not the shape…
After all!!!
Cooking is an experiment. And I feel life is too short to try everything.
So I prefer and I try to make it perfect in one shot. So that I can try another recipe the next time.
Yes, at times it doesn’t work. But that is also not a problem. Try again and it will come out fine.

Let us see what are the basic ingredients I used to make Veg Tacos Recipe:
Tacos – This is something I made at home. And it came out really well. To make hard shell tacos, here I have used a combination of cornflour and all-purpose flour.
For the Filling – I sauteed some chopped bell pepper, corn, and paneer cubes in butter until they became a little soft and browned. And l last to make it more flavorful, I added some spices and chaat masala.
Sour Cream – I prefer using homemade sour cream, so I whipped some fresh cream, thick yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. And there you go!!!
Nachos Cheese Dip – I have used store bought nachos cheese dip to give some Mexican flavor to it.
Last but not the least, you will also need some toppings – So, here I have used some of my favorite toppings like onion, tomato, jalapeno, and mozzarella cheese. So you can choose toppings of your own choice.
Basic tips, while making Veg Tacos Recipe at Home:
I made Taco Shell at home from scratch. But if you want you can buy taco shell from store.
The fun part of tacos is that you can play around with different vegetables, salsa, sauces, cheese or toppings.
You can keep the fillings in a separate bowl and let the people make the tacos for themselves as per their choices.
