8 Of the Best Taco Fillings to Eat Right Now

All Credits: PA

How many of these palm-sized Mexican treats can you knock back in one sitting? We’re thinking a lot.

The traditional way of eating the street food staple is to order your tacos individually, ordering one, then going back for another, and another, until you are practically a taco yourself.

Here are some top ways to stuff your taco shells…

1. Braised chicken

Classic tacos (not your Tex-Mex variety) are traditionally topped with just chopped coriander and diced white onion, but chipotle-shredded chicken calls for cooling lettuce and a slick of sour cream.

Chicken Tinga Taco! Usually served as a tostada at EP, CP and PP, we use a soft corn tortilla base at Pastorcito @mercatometropolitano and fill it with chipotle-braised shredded chicken, lettuce, onions, jalapeño, sour cream and salsa. . . . . #pastorcito #elpastor #chickentinga #tacotaco #tacotuesday #mercatometropolitano #elephantandcastle #mexican #eaterlondon

2. Baja fish

Basically a fish finger taco, loaded with sweetcorn and pineapple rather than mushy peas (which we wouldn’t condemn) – it works, even if it sounds like it shouldn’t.

3. Jerk pollock

Fish tacos are light and refreshing – chuck in some jerk seasoning and they’ll pep you up with a bit of heat too.

4. Slow-cooked lamb

Moreish slow-cooked lamb, coriander, white onion – the only thing missing is a few leaves of mint.

5. Jackfruit

Vegans needn’t miss out on the taco fun – pile the shells high with pulled jackfruit and avocado.
