    A taco a little out of the ordinary. Blackened Salmon, Pineapple Slaw, Peppers, Red Onion, and Homemade Fajita Seasoning served on a Flour Tortilla.

    The next entry on this wonderful celebration of Tacos!!!!!!!!!

    Korean Street Tacos

    If there’s a fusion of cultural foods for tacos, I think this could just be at the top. The homemade tortilla, the vehicle to deliver the sweet and salty beef bulgolgi that is paired with kkakdugi (daikon radish kimchi), rounding out all the flavors with the umami of the fish sauce and the heat from gochugaru (Korean chile powder). And to top it off, scallion, slivers of jalapeño and thinly sliced radish.

    Ask my wife which taco she has enjoyed this week the most, and this quickly moves to the top of her list - she’s a sucker for the flavors an Asian dish packs!

    i didn't want to be left out when it's taco week at my house!

    leftover grilled ribeye that has salt, table pepper, and garlic, added some cumin and some ground pepper blend. hit it hot and fast in a pan. put in tortillas browned in a pan with peppers, onions, cheddar cheese and a white cheese sauce and Cholula. i started eating before i remembered i should take a picture.

      Great looking tortillas. And I’m jealous of that cilantro. All mine has recently bolted and looks sad. It was so nice going outside to pluck a few leaves.

    Thursday taco night at the casa!

    Fish Tacos

    Showing the versatility of tacos this week - tonight, we have fish tacos. Just a few filets of cod, seasoned with Holy Voodoo and seared in the CI then flaked apart. But, I think the star of this is the freshness of the pico de gallo that adds to the fish. Completely different flavor profile than what I’ve done the rest of the week, but a nice change of pace as well with the lightness of the fish.

    And who can forget….the dessert taco!!!!!!!

    I think I smiled the entire time I ate this tonight. Homemade tortilla with a smear of Nutella and a sprinkle of granola with some fresh raspberries. I think Nutella makes everything taste good…so whether it’s a tortilla or whatever, I’ll probably like it!

      Okay, I am ready to do some fusion tacos that I think like the barelfly desert taco are way out of the fusion box.

      I grew up in New Orleans, and as the story goes that the Sicilian workers in the French Quarter would go to Central Grocery in the Quarter to buy their lunch consisting of salami, cheese, ham, olive salad, and a muffuletta bread which was pretty awkward to eat without a plate or utensils. The proprietor decide to slice the muffuletta bread and put the other ingredients between the two halves wrapping it original bread wrapper. Thus the Muffuletta was born!

      So, since the Muffuletta was a kind of street food, my first offering will be muffuletta street tacos. Since apples and sharp cheddar cheese go well together my dessert street tacos will be fried apples topped with sharp cheddar cheese.

      Pictures to follow.

      The olive salad mixture minus the cheese.

        Love the tubs. I do something similar with flat corn tortillas and they just disappear off the serving dish. Yum.

      Don’t forget to review the guidelines in the OP under this topic if you want your tacos to be considered strongly in the competition. Any post on here within the Smackdown dates will be considered, with the exception of my own, of course.

      Shrimp tacos with a cilantro slaw and sauce.

      The shrimp was seasoned with a mixture of chili power, cumin and chili pepper.

      The slaw is shredded cabbage, Greek yogurt, cilantro, jalapeño with a zest of lime. Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_1417.jpg Views:	4 Size:	2.84 MB ID:	1460055 Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_1414.jpg Views:	4 Size:	3.31 MB ID:	1460056

      Grilled on the flat top and served.

        You gotta cook something up over the weekend! Show us some of that fresh seafood being used in tacos!
