SALT LAKE CITY — If you are a taco fan of any kind, then Thursday is a glorious day because it is National Taco Day!

Celebrating National Taco Day by going out to a local restaurant may seem like the only appropriate way to commemorate this day; however, you can also have a delicious celebratory dinner in the comfort of your own home.

It does not take a lot to make a delicious taco. In my opinion, the best tasting tacos are those that have minimal ingredients and take no longer than 20 minutes to make. Another advantage about tacos is that they're so versatile in taste and can be easily altered to fit everyone’s preferences. Tacos are also a great way to pack in some extra vegetables in a fun and different way.

Here are five delicious taco-inspired recipes for you to try. If you feel like the recipes call for more vegetables, consider tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, corn, and romaine lettuce as additional options.
