To kick things off for my Tacos in Healdsburg series, I'm beginning with Madre Emi and Taqueria de la Casa. Taqueria de la Casa are the specialty house tacos made by my friend Emi and were actually made at my house in the Wine Country. I think she made about 25 of these little beauties that afternoon. Smaller fried tortillas, with a combination base of black beans and chicken in a light chile sauce and topped with cabbage, tomato, cilantro, red onion, and lime are worthy enough to fight over (sorry, focus issues on the camera, I was probably rushing to eat her Chile Rellenos after my first plate of tacos).
Eating tacos with Emi is a tough habit to break. Many years ago, I visited Emi and her family in Acapulco. I ate about 8 tacos like this around 2am at a wedding on the beach. Thanks Emi for the memories and the tacos. The bar was set pretty high. Salute!
