Soft or hard shell, flour or corn tortilla, there's something unfussily great about tacos. Maybe it's the self-assembly, which lets everyone choose what they do—and don't—want to add. Maybe it's the ease—the way 90% of it can be made ahead.

Maybe it's just that tacos are gosh darned delicious. Whatever it is, we just don't get tired of eating tacos at least once a week! But we have gotten tired of a particular recipe, if it sat in our meal rotation for long enough. To keep that from happening to you, here are ten terrific taco recipes, from weeknight faves like slow-cooker beef, to snazzy flavor-fests like Thai. There's even an all-veggie black bean and carrot taco which has to be tried to be believed!

Make one of these tonight, and you won't regret it!
