Barbacoa
Beef barbacoa is one of the most traditional Mexican taco fillings. It is slow-cooked with seasonings and then shredded for a soft, delicious bite. At the Guac Shop, we use only naturally raised beef, and you’ll always get a double helping. Barbacoa has a fatty, umami flavor, so we recommend pairing it with lighter toppings like tomato or our Mexi Slaw.
Carnitas
Guac Shop carnitas are made with pasture-raised pork and slow roasted. Similar to beef barbacoa, pork carnitas often comes shredded and are very filling. Brighten it up with veggies like shredded romaine lettuce or our homemade cilantro aioli!
Steak
Whether you’re following a diet with restrictions like the Paleo diet or you’re simply a lover of red meat, you’ll be a big fan of the prime black Angus steak from Guac Shop. Pair it with our sautéed fajita veggies and spice it up with a little jalapeño!
Chicken
For a lighter protein option, try free-range, antibiotic-free, all-white meat chicken. It’s the perfect palette for whatever toppings you’ve been craving, and you can keep it healthy with options like brown rice, black beans, and guacamole.
Turkey
Another great healthy option is free-range turkey from Shady Brook Farms, cooked with wonderful Mexican spices so you get all the flavor you love without the fat and calories of our other protein options. Add a twist with our Mexi Sweet Potatoes and saucy options like chipotle mayo, Mexican chimichurri, or our cranberry lime vinaigrette!
