Recipe: These soft tacos are always a crowd

Some dinners are just easy wins. Tacos are one of them.

They’re quick, customizable and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re feeding picky eaters, using up what’s in the fridge, or just trying to get something satisfying on the table without too much effort, soft tacos check all the boxes.

This version is perfect for August, when it’s still warm out and no one’s in the mood to turn on the oven. The filling comes together quickly on the stovetop, and pico de gallo is as summery as it gets. Juicy tomatoes, zippy lime, a little cilantro and just enough heat to keep things interesting. It adds a freshness that store-bought salsa just doesn’t deliver.

You can use ground beef, chicken or turkey for the filling. Or skip the meat entirely and use lentils or black beans for a meatless version.
