Regular tacos require you to stand over a stove, fill each shell individually, and serve them before the toppings make everything soggy. Cheesy oven-baked tacos require you to do almost none of that. You fill a pan, cover everything in cheese, put it in the oven, and pull out twelve perfectly assembled, hot, crispy, melty Cheesy Oven-Baked Tacos all at the same time. It is a system improvement that nobody questioned until someone tried it and then refused to go back. I made these on a Thursday evening when I needed something that fed six people quickly, required minimal active cooking, and …

Main Dishes

There are meals that transport you somewhere better than wherever you currently are. Chicken Gyros are one of those meals. The moment that marinated chicken hits the hot pan and the kitchen fills with oregano, lemon, and garlic — you are no longer in your kitchen. You are at a street food stall somewhere in Athens, holding something wrapped in warm pita that makes you genuinely happy to be alive. I spent years ordering gyros from restaurants and assuming I could never replicate what made them so good at home. Then I made this recipe and discovered two things: the marinade is …
