Tacos

Tacos are a popular traditional Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla that is filled with various ingredients, which can include proteins such as beef, chicken, fish, or shrimp, as well as vegetables, cheese, and various sauces or salsas. The tortilla can be made from either corn or flour, and is typically folded or rolled around the filling to create a hand-held, portable meal. Tacos are a versatile and customizable dish that can be enjoyed in various forms, such as soft tacos or crispy hard-shell tacos. They are often accompanied by a range of condiments like sour cream, guacamole, and hot sauce, allowing for endless combinations of flavors to suit individual preferences.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Tacos expire?
Tacos, as a prepared dish, have a relatively short shelf life. Unopened takeout or delivery tacos, kept in their original packaging, might be alright for a day or two in the fridge, but are always best enjoyed fresh. Once opened, or if the tacos are homemade, they will last around 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, but the tortilla may become soggy and the ingredients might get a bit wilted. Freezing tacos isn't typically recommended as it could drastically affect the texture of a lot of the ingredients, particularly the tortilla and fresh vegetables.
How do you tell if Tacos is bad?
Knowing if a taco has gone bad can be determined by a few noticeable factors. If there is any odd or off smell, that's a sure sign it's time to compost it. Look for any discoloration, particularly in the meat or garnishes. If there's any visible mold, or if the filling is excessively runny or the tortilla extremely soggy, those are all signs that the taco is no longer fresh and it would be best to dispose of it. But remember, when in doubt, always be safe and throw it out.
Tips for storing Tacos to extend shelf life
• Wrap your leftover tacos in aluminum foil or plastic wrap before refrigerating to keep them as fresh as possible. • Try to store leftover taco ingredients, like meats, beans, vegetables, and salsas, in separate containers. This prolongs their freshness and makes your tacos taste even better when reassembled. • If for some reason you do need to freeze your tacos, thaw them in the refrigerator and then heat them in a dry skillet to try and reclaim some of their original crunch and texture.
