Blue Ribbon Tacos at the Arizona Taco Festival



This week Blue Ribbon Hunter traveled west for the Arizona Taco Festival where among the many taco related activities ruling the weekend we witness a man eat the world's hottest chili called the Trinidad Scorpion (according to Guinness World Records). But the real highlight was the amazing variety of taco recipes from all the competitors vying for top taco. We focused mainly on fish tacos because they are actually the most searched taco type on Yahoo Search (who knew?) But you learn about all the winners at the festival web site.

The grand champion winner was the crew from Distrito's restaurant and they took the top spot with their version of a fish taco. The exact recipe is a secret, but the components are listed below so you can experiment at home. And if you're ever in Scottsdale, Arizona you could drop in to taste the real deal.
