Endless summer
Seasonal rules are made to be broken at The Taco Sisters.

Summer's official party pooper, Labor Day, has come and gone. Pack up your white pants and linen suits. Savor those final afternoons floating in the pool. The heat will soon wane, and the mild Louisiana autumn will take its place.

The Taco Sisters refuse to abide by the Labor Day rule — summer is still in full swing on the corner of Johnston and Vermilion streets, where diners are encouraged to picnic in the yard, enjoying Gulf seafood in delicious tacos, burritos and salads. The Fiesta Summer Salad will be on the menu through October and is a refreshing and light mélange of Taco Sisters staple produce, like black beans, corn, fresh tomatoes, avocado and jalapeño with crisp lime juice vinaigrette and in-house smoked Gulf shrimp. With the following recipe, mix up a re-creation to serve with tortilla chips for a snack or on mixed greens perfect for a change-of-pace lunch.

Serves 4-6
1/2 C chopped ripe Roma tomatoes
1 diced fresh jalapeño
1/3 C diced yellow onion
1 T chopped cilantro
1-2 cloves fresh minced garlic
1/2 t kosher salt
pinch of sugar
1/4 t black pepper
1/4 t red pepper flakes
2 t lime juice
