Tuesdays can easily become the best day of the week when there are tacos involved. And dinner is always easier when you know it’s something the whole crew looks forward to. Beyond the signature dish itself, though, it’s nice to have a side dish or two to round out the meal.
Tacos are a family-friendly dinner simple enough to pull off any night of the week. And while they could easily be a meal on their own, rounding out the plate with an equally simple side dish makes the meal feel complete. We rounded up a few of our favorite tacos sides, from slaws and salads to rice and bean dishes that pair perfectly with any and all tacos (and margaritas , too).
The crunchiest slaw starts by salting the cabbage and letting it rest in a colander about 15 minutes before tossing it with the rest of the ingredients.
This cheesy casserole can play both side dish or dip, depending on your mood. If you choose the latter, make sure there are lots of tortilla chips on hand.
While Swiss chard is usually cooked, here it's left raw, which results in a uniquely hearty slaw that won't wilt so it can be made ahead on Monday night for your Taco Tuesday.
Crispy and juicy jicama adds an extra dose of refreshing crunch to this unique slaw. While the amount of jalapeños in the recipe may seem like a lot, it ensures the best flavor. (You can scrape out the peppers' seeds if you prefer a more mild side dish.)
Elote is a popular Mexican street corn snack. In this butter bath twist, all the flavorings are added straight to the boiling water used to cook the corn, which disperses the seasoning onto every kernel and saves you the step of coating individual ears.
The key to this extra-flavorful rice is to not just melt the shredded cheddar cheese, but also to caramelize it so that it gets incredibly rich and smoky and it lends crispy bits to each forkful of rice.
