    • Chicken Elote Tacos

      Posted at 9:19 am by NativeNM, on May 5, 2026

      Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!! Since it’s also Taco Tuesday, we are having some tasty tacos to celebrate. You’ll love these tacos with seasoned grilled chicken, street corn aka elote and fresh salsa folded into a flour tortilla for an explosion of flavors in every bite. Normally I would roast fresh corn on the grill but it’s not quite corn season so I opted for frozen roasted corn that you can get at Trader Joe’s. It’s the best roasted corn when you’re in a pinch. The corn is mixed with a tangy cream sauce with the flavors of lime, chile, garlic and Cotija cheese. It’s so delicious and makes a wonderful dip or side dish. The chicken is seasoned with a blend of red and green chile spices and a spritz of lime juice. Spoon some fresh salsa on top with a sprinkle of Cotija cheese and you will have one of the best tacos you’ve ever tasted!

    • Tacos with Chicken or Beef

      Posted at 10:25 am by NativeNM, on October 10, 2011

      The best tacos I ever ate were at the local drive-inn in my home town called “The Westerner”.  My sister and I loved these tacos and would make a “Westerner” run whenever we had a taco craving.  The Westerner is no longer there anymore but Kat and I still reminisce about those tacos to this day.  The tacos I made tonight might be called leftover tacos, simply because I had a little leftover ground beef and a couple odd pieces of chicken in the freezer that I didn’t know what to do with.  There wasn’t enough of either one to make a meal so I compromised and made 2 small skillets, one of chicken taco meat and the other ground beef.  I raided the fridge for toppings, finding a little of this, a little of that and in the end we had a taco bar going to fill your own tacos.
