Spread 1/4–1/2 tsp per taco on the tortilla before filling.
Chef's Notes
Black garlic is regular garlic that went to therapy and came back a better version of itself. Aged at low heat for weeks, it turns dark, soft, and sweet, with notes of balsamic, molasses, and tamarind — none of the raw bite. Find whole heads at Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, specialty grocers, or online. To make paste, squeeze the cloves and mash with a fork. Beyond tacos, whisk a spoonful into mayo or aioli for instant depth, stir into hot rice or mashed potatoes, or blend with softened butter for finishing steaks. The paste keeps refrigerated for weeks. Growth is possible.
