going to grab a flank steak and throw it on the grill later for some carne asada tacos. Usually when I make tacos, we are just eating tacos. Any good quick sides you like to eat with tacos? Thought about grilling some corn since the grill will already be hot, but looking for any other suggestions.

Homemade guacamole.

Was going to suggest grilled corn with butter, tajin and cotija cheese, but it looks like you were already a step ahead of me.

Rice and beans, grilled corn, calabacitas.

Tacos are the star attraction.

Pan fry some soft sweet plantains. Not vouching for this recipe in particular, but just clarifying that I mean these, not the dry deep fried ones:

Cheesy green rice

2 cups cooked white rice
1 jar Herdez guacamole salsa
1 can Rotel tomatoes drained
2 cup shredded cheddar (1 cup mixed in, one cup on top)

Mix well to combine
Add to greased baking dish
Top with remaining cheese
Bake at 400 until cheese on top bubbly/brown

Very easy to make, very good

The best side for a taco is another taco

I’d go with chips and dip.

I’d go for novelty and use that roasted corn to make a salsa out of it.

Yes, I know it’s too late, but throwing it out there
