Mexican street tacos, those small soft tortillas, stuffed with simple fillings yet, a mouthful of wonderful flavours. This summer start your taco menu with a smoky grilled ingredient like pork, steak, beef, shrimp or veggies. Make sure the stuffings are cut into bite size pieces. Toppings are important and include fresh cilantro leaves, thinly sliced raw onions and a crumbly cheese like salty Mexican Cotija or feta. Have some traditional tangy Mexican crema on hand, too. Other popular toppers? Corn, avocado, fresh greens or slivers of sweet and spicy fresh peppers.

After all the fussing with meat, veggies and toppings, salsa is the one ingredient that holds it all together. To keep things quick and easy, a store bought jar is the finale of toppers. If you want to impress and serve a dizzying variety of fruity and spicy salsas, add a simple splash of an infused oil and balsamic combo. TIP: For a more intense burst of flavour, drizzle the combo directly on your grilled meats and veggies before adding toppings.

Cayenne & Peach
