TacoFancy is a collaborative cookbook built on Git, inviting everyone to submit taco recipes via pull requests. Instead of single monolithic recipes, it organizes the universe of tacos into modular parts—shells, proteins, salsas, toppings, and full assemblies—so you can mix and match to invent your own. The structure encourages creativity and reuse: a new salsa might pair with dozens of fillings, while a different tortilla technique can transform a favorite combination. Because it lives in Git, the entire cooking process becomes versioned and reviewable; contributors discuss tweaks in issues and iterate like they would on software. The repository is playful yet practical, spanning weeknight-simple ideas to elaborate, slow-cooked masterpieces, with plenty of vegetarian and regional twists. It’s as much a community project as it is a cookbook, showing how open source collaboration can make dinner more interesting.
