ELEVATE YOUR TACO TUESDAY WITH THESE TEX MEX RECIPES

Have you ever had a meal at a restaurant that would be considered average by a food critic, yet it still blew your hair back and you have been craving it again ever since? During a recent family road trip, we stopped off in San Antonio for a couple of nights. Having been camping for the better part of a month, we were in the mood to order something off a menu. Which led us to an afternoon meal at Casa Rio on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Casa Rio has been serving up Tex-Mex since 1946, so one might say they have had their fair share of practice. A plate of their Commerce Street Tacos later, and I was in love. These tacos were loaded with flavor, the meat was perfectly tender, and the poblano sauce was out of this world. Am I going to drive 18 hours just to enjoy these tacos again? Probably not. But was it a good jumping-off point to explore in depth the flavors and varieties of Tex-Mex recipes? You betcha!
