Simple no cook tacos
The best jerky for a No Cook Taco is tender and easy to tear apart. Avoid over-processed jerkys that are dry and difficult to chew. The reason jerky is the main ingredient of a No Cook Taco is because this backcountry staple can last weeks without refrigeration and brings a lot of big, meaty flavors to this dish. For a vegetarian option try bean and cheese tacos or use a vegan protein such as Primal Strips.
The best tortillas
Taco tortillas last unrefrigerated one week after the expiration date. For many brands sold on a shelf, this means you have anywhere from 2 weeks to 45 days to eat before they go bad. Flour tortillas tend to work best, since corn ones fall apart when bouncing around in a pack.
Taco toppings
Beyond the meat and tortillas, there are lots of great combinations to add to your tacos. These are a few of our favorites:
- Hard Cheese: cheese adds a nice creamy and salty element to the taco.
- Chef Brian’s Salsa: made with onion, cilantro, salt, pepper and lemon, Brian’s salsa brings fresh, authentic street taco flavor.
- B. Redi Dehydrated Salsa: great for long distance trips, easy to make and great tasting.
- Avocado: this is a luxury, but it will bring a delightful creamyness to your tacos.
