I love tacos (who doesn't?), but I wanted to put my own unique twist on them by incorporating some Indian flavors. These ginger-curry versions hit the spot! —Michael Cohen, Los Angeles, California


Test Kitchen tips
  • Seal fresh gingerroot in an airtight container in the freezer. That way, when you need just a little bit, you can grate the frozen chunk directly into your dish. Then just put it back into the freezer for the next time you need a bright pop of flavor.
  • Curry powders vary in heat level, so it's better to start out on the lighter side and add more only after tasting.
  • Naan is a flatbread common throughout India, central Asia and the Middle East. For these tacos, look for a thin naan, as it will be easier to form into the classic taco shape.
