Taco the Cake?

These are the ultimate vegetarian taco.

Kristen in Washington made these adorable Taco Pops (above) that were featured on the baking blog Bakerella where she also included some directions on how to make them and (below) Tina over at Tina's Sugar Shack made these awesome mini-cakes complete with shredded lettuce and grated cheddar cheese (aka dyed green and orange coconut).  Amazing!


Tacos are great on their own but taco shaped cake takes things to the next level.  We're at about a 7 now.  Things are getting crazy.  These have to make their way into Taco the Art Show!!  Any takers?

The Almighty Choco Taco

What taco loving website would be complete without mentioning this heavy hitter, 

the ChocoTaco.  
(pause for chorus of angels)

I mean, it's a taco, it's dessert, it's dipped in chocolate, it's got a weird soft/crunchy cone/shell...the ChocoTaco really has it all.  Apparently even Jesus likes them and he's a notoriously picky eater.

                                          internet jesus found here.

And, if for some reason you can't find an ice cream man and your favorite bodega is sold out of these little semi-circles of heaven, never fear, there's actually a recipe for homemade ChocoTacos online!  (Because of course there is.)

Bon Appetit!

I love this recipe (especially the part about making a taco in a bag) and it couldn't be easier:

Ingredients

Makes: 4

• 455 g lean ground beef or the meat substitute of your choosing
• 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
• 4 (2.5 ounce) packages corn chips
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 chopped fresh tomato
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup salsa
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1.

Place ground beef in a large skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until browned. Drain excess oil. Mix in the taco seasoning and prepare according to the directions on the package.

2.

With the bags unopened, gently crush the corn chips. Snip the corners off the bags using scissors and slit open the bags along the side edge. Spoon equal amounts of the beef (or seitan) mixture, lettuce, tomato, Cheddar cheese, salsa and sour cream into the bags on top of the crushed chips. Serve in the bag and eat using a fork.

 

And you're done!  So simple!
