If it weren’t for Indian and Mexican food, I might starve to death! I could eat tacos nearly every day of my life and sometimes, I do, in one form or another. Featured here is one of my most favorite tacos. I typically choose the butter lettuce wrap but it’s up to you and what’s right for your body type! This recipe is simple yet different enough to keep me interested!
