In "Just Tacos" former "Gourmet" magazine food editor Shelley Wiseman showcases the mastery of this Mexican-style sandwich that she praises as the "quintessential food on the go." Tacos are a wonderful way to introduce Mexican cuisine to your family or friends, Wiseman says: "As long as it's not soup, you can use just about anything for a taco filling." Wiseman proves that point by including options such an Asian tuna or an unusual fried avocado filling. Even vegetarians will be delighted when fillings such as cooked mushrooms, Swiss chard, cactus leaves and cheese are folded in a warm tortilla. --The Detroit News
