tacofancy

This is a community-driven taco recipe repo. Please fork and submit your own recipes, because the more there are, the more delicious it gets.

This repository contains a few different directories:

  • full tacos
    • This contains full descriptions of tacos. Those tacos may contain additional elements from other directories.
  • base layers
    • This is where you'll find meats, beans, tofu, and other things that make up the 'base' of your taco goodness.
  • mixins
    • The base is important, but what you add to it is what makes the taco glow.
  • condiments
    • Do you make a motherfucking salsa? Do you know how to pickle your own jalapeños? Yeah, put it here.
  • seasonings
    • Hot and spicy? Rubs and mixes? It's all in here.
  • shells
    • Your base layers and mixins and condiments have to go into something, right? Put your tortilla recipes here.
  • like_tacos
    • A collection of things that are like tacos, e.g. gua bao.

Tacofancy-Inspired Projects

It's not just the tacos on Tacofancy that are open source, but the idea and the code too. There are some cool projects that are spinning off of Tacofancy, and it's worth collecting them here (if you're working on a tacofancy-inspired project, feel free to add it to this README)

  • The Taco Randomizer need inspiration? the Taco Randomizer leverages Tacofancy to build a randomly created full taco (and can also supply it as JSON).

  • Tacofancy API by @evz is a project to create an API from the objects on Tacofancy. The API drives the Taco Randomizer.

  • @tacobot is a work-in-progress Twitter bot that tweets when a new file is added to the Tacofancy repo.

  • the_great_taco_hunt is a repo dedicated to documenting great taco locations, inspired by Tacofancy.

Endnotes

This whole thing was hastily assembled on a cold November evening with the warmth of some steak, sweet potato, and apple tacos aglow in my belly. It started with just three recipes in it. Now it has many dozens. Nice job, world.

Oh hi, I'm @dansinker.
