But what could be better than a Saturday night at your neighborhood taco shop? An at-home taco party, that’s what. It’s similar to the pizza party slumber parties you enjoyed as a child –lots of delicious toppings and an excuse to sip on a perfect margarita. Or five.  So get out your tortilla press, invite a few of your closest foodie friends and get ready for a tasty taco fiesta.

I absolutely would. Homemade tacos are the perfect food for an interactive, DIY-style party but they’re also easy to whip up in small batches for one or two people on a work night. When I was growing up, taco night meant ground beef cooked with Old El Paso spices stuffed in Old El Paso shells topped with cheese, salsa and shredded lettuce, usually alongside refried beans. They were quite delicious but there are a lot more creative things that you can stuff inside of a taco shell. Today, taco night means soft corn tortillas warmed in the oven or on the grill (real talk: or in the microwave between two damp paper towels for under a minute). I love tacos with fish or shrimp but Chicago’s taco joints have opened me up to a world of tacos pastor, with spicy marinated pork and juicy pineapple, and King crab leg tacos, which can’t be adequately described by the written word.
