Norwegian Friday tacos are an institution – but have you tasted tacos the way they are actually made in Mexico? Small, doubled-up corn tortillas with juicy meat, chopped onion, coriander and a squeeze of lime. No cheese, no sour cream, no lettuce. Just pure flavour.
What sets real tacos apart
- Corn tortillas, always two: Small tortillas (10–15 cm) are doubled up so they don't tear – see our corn tortillas.
- Simple filling: Slow-cooked pork (carnitas), spiced beef (asada) or grilled chicken.
- Fresh topping: Finely chopped onion, fresh coriander and lime – nothing more.
- The salsa does the work: A spoonful of good salsa or hot sauce brings acidity and sting.
Quick recipe: tacos de pollo (serves 4)
- Season 600 g chicken thighs with cumin, oregano, garlic and chilli from the spice shelves, and cook over high heat.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan until they are fragrant and soft.
- Build: two tortillas, meat, onion, coriander, salsa, lime. Done.
Want to make the tortillas yourself?
Mix masa harina with water and a pinch of salt, press flat and cook in a dry pan for one minute per side. Fresh tortillas lift your taco to a whole new level.
