Make sure to leave room for your tortilla shells around the outside.<\/h4>\n<h4>Take your taco meat of choice and cook with a medium onion and add your favorite seasoning. Fill the taco shells with meat and cheese and bake for 5 minutes.<\/h4>\n<h4>Place your tacos around the outside of the board around the bowls placed in the center.<\/h4>\n<h4>Place tortilla chips to fill in any empty spaces (and have an extra bowl to the side with more chips, because who only has a few?)<\/h4>\n<h4>Last but certainly not least \u2013 serving some wine with your taco board. This will depend on the kind of meat you used for your tacos, so we came prepared with pairings for a few different kinds!<\/h4>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re doing fish tacos: <\/strong>citrusy whites tend to be best, but depending on the taco, you might be able to try a red. If you prefer wines with a touch more body and fruit, try some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juicegrape.com\/Sauvignon-Blanc-Cal-Original-All-Juice-23L\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Sauvignon Blanc<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. It tends to have a mix of citrus and tropical flavors and a zippy herbal quality that\u2019s tasty with cilantro. If you\u2019re going for a grilled fish, like salmon, the red cherry fruit in lighter styles of California <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juicegrape.com\/Pinot-Noir-Original-All-Juice-23L\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Pinot Noir<\/span><\/strong><\/a> works well. A hint if spicy oak can pair nicely with the char.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re doing pork tacos:<\/strong> try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.juicegrape.com\/Zinfandel-Rouge-Original-All-Juice-23L\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Zinfandel<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or a new world\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.juicegrape.com\/Pinot-Noir-Original-All-Juice-23L\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Pinot Noir<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Spicy, seasoned pork screams for a fruit forward red to accompany the meat\u2019s robust flavors, yet one with enough acidity to cut through the taco\u2019s richness. The acidity of a new world Pinot Noir will give the pairing a lighter, more on-it\u2019s-feet feel, where as Zinfandel\u2019s signature spice and juicy mouthfeel create a lush, succulent pairing for the pork.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re doing steak tacos:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.juicegrape.com\/index.php\/2020\/02\/how-to-make-chilean-malbec-wine-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>Malbec<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!
