I was a little alarmed to realize that I’ve never posted a taco recipe for one of our Tuesday Tastings…after all, they’re one of my fave foods on the planet, and we serve them constantly around our house in various forms: tacos al pastor, fish tacos with slaw, carne asada, you name it. I’ve got a new taco crush though, and you’ve gotta try it. Charred corn straight off the cob, paired with shredded chicken, creamy avocado, feta and spicy tomatillo sauce come together for a little taste of taco heaven. Serve with thick slices of watermelon with salt, pepper & mint for the perfect late-summer dinner. Follow the jump for the recipe, and please share a comment with your favorite taco fillings!
