Gather the troops cause we’ve got lots to taco about over a couple of rounds of tequila. In the last couple of years, this little Mexican bite exploded in popularity around the globe and features at 99% of festive Mexican parties. Mostly thanks to the Asian and Mexican fusion food revolution that took place on the west coast of the US,  Americans now consume around 4.5 billion tacos a year and they’re not alone. With the help of the global food truck movement, the humble taco is now seen as the ultimate street snack.

The history of the taco is a bit unclear, but anthropological evidence shows the native people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish. Today it’s filled with everything you can imagine.

The promise of tortillas stuffed with grilled meats and exotic toppings is only made more mouthwatering by the addition of tequila. To inspire your next Taco night in, we present you with 5 tantalising taco recipes to enjoy with a bottle of your favourite tequila.
