8 Ways to Decorate Your Home With Tacos

After dedicating your life to tacos, you will surely want to start incorporating tacos into your home decor. To help jump-start your Pinterest dreams, here’s a list of some of our favorites:

1. Photo Printed Taco Pillow measures approximately 20″ wide x 12″ high and is “super comfortable and squishy” since it’s filled with microbeads, despite it’s “crunchy” tortilla appearance.

2. Available in 3 sizes, this woven polyester Taco Pizza Burger Throw Rug showcases your love for tacos, but without alienating your burger and pizza eating friends. The Taco Cleanse isn’t about exclusion, it’s about eating tacos.

3. Will you be my Taco Friend? Of course! The Taco Friend Throw Pillow livens up any decor, and is available for indoor or outdoor use. Who would say no to tacos?

4. It’s your favorite song to sing at karaoke, and now you can hang it as artwork in your house! The Taco Eclipse of the Heart Art Print isn’t meant to remind you about how fragile tortillas can be (especially corn and crunchy corn), but is meant to remind you that The Taco Cleanse isn’t about sadness, it’s about eating tacos.

5.Is it time for a taco? The Taco Tuesday Wall Clock sure thinks it is! Other so-called clocks on the market today merely tell you what time it is, but this clock lets you know that it is perfectly acceptable to eat tacos at any time of the day.

6. Are you currently in a relationship with a burritovore? The Taco vs Burrito Duvet Cover might be the best addition to your bedroom decor! Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to convert our partners to the taco lifestyle, they still insist on eating burritos.

7.Imagine how exhilarating your morning shower will be when you have the Pixel Taco Shower Curtain hanging up in your bathroom. That’s the power of Taco Cleansing. LITERALLY.

8.Moving into the dorms soon? College life won’t be complete without your own Taco Illuminati Wall Tapestry. We aren’t saying there’s a taco conspiracy. But we aren’t NOT saying that either.

Taco fredag: Swedish Taco Friday

You’re likely very familiar with Taco Tuesday. You may have grown up eating tacos in your school cafeteria every Tuesday—or wishing you could. But, shocking though it may be, Taco Tuesday is not universal.

In Sweden, they have Taco Friday. Or taco fredag.

Friday night is a casual family night in Sweden devoted to family dinner and television. Recently, families have switched their allegiance from pizza to tacos on Friday night. Solid choice, Sweden.

If you think back to the Taco Kit dinners of your youth (or last Wednesday), you’ll have a pretty good idea of a Swedish taco. Ground meat cooked with an Old El Paso spice pack. Jarred salsa. Cheese. And of course cucumbers.

What? You don’t eat cucumbers on your tacos? Maybe it’s time to try. After all, Sweden has a great reputation for health care, maternity leave, and affordable furniture. And I’m pretty sure it’s all due to taco fredag.

Mexican Smashed Potatoes

I’ve always preferred smashed potatoes to mashed potatoes. Maybe it’s because I’m too ~~lazy~~ busy to deal with peeling potatoes and bothering with an electric mixer. But honestly, I think I like the chunky texture of smashed potatoes better and it seems a little less like baby food.

There is a popular Tex-Mex dish of “Mexican Mashed Potatoes” which usually involves a ton of velveeta and heavy cream. I wanted something a bit less gloopy but still with a spicy kick, and so these potatoes were created.

They were perfect with the tempeh picadillo from the upcoming Taco Cleanse book, but they’d be great as a base in any saucy taco. You could easily size down this recipe. I really wanted to have leftovers for a few days so this yielded quite a bit. You could also add vegan cheddar or a pepper jack mix if that’s how you roll.

Mexican Smashed Potatoes
3 pounds of red potatoes, quartered
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1/4 cup of vegan blue cheese (or Vegenaise)
1/4 cup of pickled jalapenos, chopped
1/4 cup green onions
3 tablespoons Tofutti cream cheese
1 tablespoon of Earth Balance
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a large pot cover the potatoes with water and boil for about 20 minutes or until fork tender. Remove the potatoes to a strainer, draining off all the water. In the same pot, but with the heat off, mix remaining ingredients. Add potatoes back to the pot and, using a fork or potato masher, smash into desired consistency. Channel any rage you may have at the world during this step so your mind is clear before you eat your tacos. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
