Tacos are just perfect for any moment. Whether you're having dinner with your family or just feeling hungry, they're a great choice. But quite often, many consider ordering it online instead of making it at home, because they fear homemade tacos won't have the same taste and feel.
Surprisingly, making tacos at home is easier than you think. And with options for customization, you can craft tacos based on your unique preferences. It is extremely beneficial when you're craving tacos late at night and all your favourite taco joints are closed.
With healthy ingredients and a little bit of know-how, you'll be whipping up delicious tacos in no time. And you can satisfy your cravings without ever having to leave the house. For making a simple taco shell, just make a smooth dough of maize flour and some all-purpose flour with carom seeds and salt to taste, roll this dough in thin sheets and prick with a fork. Then deep fry these sheets and make a half-moon shape while it's hot and soft. You can also make it in the oven by hanging the sheets with a grill, creating a half-moon shape and baking it until it gets nice and crispy.
