Taste of Home Tacos

My Mom’s Chicken Tacos: A Taste of Home

Our PR & Outreach Chair Isabella Polsfuss shares a chicken taco recipe that’s had a reoccurring role in her family history!

My favorite home cooked meal has to be my mom’s chicken tacos with a side of fideo, which is essentially a Mexican noodle soup—it’s been a favorite of mine since I was little. It’s a simple dish, yet it has wonderful flavors that always make me feel like I’m at home. My grandparents immigrated from Tijuana and are both incredible cooks, so they passed down all of their skills in the kitchen to their four daughters. Additionally, these same tacos were the first meal my mom ever made for my dad. The meal isn’t luxurious, but it’s the perfect comfort food and is certainly one of the foods I miss most from San Diego; I have yet to find a Mexican restaurant that has done my mom’s cooking justice!
