Fish tacos are what I like to call the guilt-free taco. These tilapia tacos are refreshing and easy to make. The recipe also comes with a guide on how to cook fish, for those who have trouble figuring out when a fish is done or still raw.

This crunchwrap supreme recipe is for the people who shamelessly eat Taco Bell while they’re sober. I know it’s technically not a taco, but it’s delicious and I’ll admit the crunchwrap is one of my favorite foods. Bonus: this recipe doesn’t contain the mystery additives that the original does.

4. Bacon Taco Shell

This isn’t a taco recipe, but a taco shell recipe. Some geniuses decided to weave bacon into a mat and bake it upright like a shell. Toppings are up to you, but I suggest hash browns and eggs to make a breakfast taco.

5. Korean Spicy Chicken Tacos
