# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These pickles transform from ordinary to extraordinary with just a few pantry ingredients, no cooking required.
  • They pull double duty as both a conversation starter at gatherings and a secret weapon for elevating everyday sandwiches and burgers.
02 -
  • Shaking the jar occasionally during marination ensures the spices dont settle at the bottom and gives you more evenly flavored pickles.
  • Different brands of taco seasoning vary significantly in salt content, so adjust accordingly if youre sensitive to sodium or making your own blend.
03 -
  • When making these for a party, prepare them in a wide, shallow container rather than a tall jar, which allows the pickles to marinate more quickly and evenly.
  • Save the leftover taco-infused brine to add a splash to homemade vinaigrettes or use as a flavor booster in bloody mary mix.
