Steak Taco Substitutes

The great thing about tacos is that they are totally customizable! I love setting up taco bars with a different options so everyone can pick and choose what they want. Here are some delicious substitutions you can make for these tacos:

• Corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas (heat them up and serve them warm!)
• Mango instead of pineapple
• Avocado instead of jalapeno
• Sour cream instead of cotija cheese

What to Serve with Tacos

Steak tacos are great to serve by themselves, and I could eat so many of them! But if you want to serve side dishes, here are some great options for your taco dinner:

• Chips and guac
• Black bean and corn salsa
• Mexican rice
• Elote (street corn)
