A certain young family member requests tacos for most meals. The cooks in her life happily oblige with everything from ground beef tacos to butternut and black bean versions. When spicy is requested, we suggest pork chorizo with a red chile sauce.

In Mexico, fresh chorizo sausage often gets paired with cheese—a rich coupling worth every calorie. For this Cinco de Mayo family celebration, the cheese will get tucked between two corn tortillas and melted on a griddle—a trick we learned from our favorite taco stand in Mexico City. This doubled tortilla stack easily holds spoonfuls of the chorizo and chicken filling.
