Taco

Separate compartments are key to packing this lunch. Switch up the fixings to keep it fresh: Salsa, guac, and sour cream are all good options.

This green tacos recipe is vegetarian but incredibly flavorful and hearty, daring to prove that not all tacos need meat.

A great Mexican hot sauce like Valentina or Cholula strikes a perfect balance of flavor and heat.

Look for Mexican chorizo in your butcher’s case next to the other fresh sausages, and don’t be afraid to include those delicious, crispy bits from the pan.

As with any other canned bean, find black beans with no spices. You can always add your own spices and herbs to suit your tastes.

Replicate this recipe indoors by using a grill pan or cast-iron skillet set over high heat.
