How To Make Mexican Pot Tacos

Cannabis edibles are becoming increasingly popular. One of the reasons for this is, that many folks have now realized, that smoking (whether it’s tobacco or weed) isn’t exactly the most healthiest thing to do. Edibles like pot cookies or brownies make for a much purer way to get your daily dose of cannabis goodness, without any harmful substances, that can be in smoke and this is also why they’re so well-liked especially by medicinal cannabis users.

Talking about edibles, one often used ingredient to make them is cannabutter. Cannabutter is an easy and convenient way to make all sorts of tasty edibles, it just has a minor problem: Its taste. Some people consider the taste and smell of cannabutter too strong and think it gives some dishes a funky note. This is why some cannabis cooking experts go through lengths to disguise the cannabutter aroma when they make edibles. This may at times definitely require some skills.

Tacos are a good choice for edibles since they have an excellent ability to cover up the cannabutter taste. Should you be among the few people, who don’t know what tacos are: They are the famed and very tasty Mexican national dish. Tacos are tortilla shells with a filling of taco meat and they are served with all sorts of delicious sides like olives, jalapeno peppers, lettuce and tomatoes.

HOW TO MAKE MEXICAN POT TACOS

In a sauce pan, put the meat and add the taco seasoning. Slightly brown the taco meat on medium heat. Put the taco meat to the side when done.

Lay the taco shells on a plate and spread and cover the whole taco with your cannabutter. Take the taco meat, that you prepared earlier and fill the taco with it. Even the meat out a bit, so that there are no large chunks. Now add some shredded cheese to the mix in the taco.

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Put the tacos with the meat and the cheese in the oven and bake until the cheese melts.

Take your pot tacos out of the oven and put them on plates. Add a variety of side dishes, before you serve the tacos. It is the different side dishes, that you can use with tacos, that will make them taste from “pretty good” to “awesome”! The best side dishes to serve with your pot tacos will be lettuce, beans, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, olives, jalapenos and some fresh cilantro. Don’t forget to serve with a small dab of sour cream or unsweetened natural yoghurt. The secret to cover up the taste of the cannabutter is to use ingredients, that have a strong taste and smell of their own. Ingredients like onions or cilantro will easily disguise the taste of the cannabutter, making for some very delicious Mexican Pot Tacos!
