This recipe looks amazing. I love a good summer taco bowl. Can’t wait to try this out.
Oh my goodness this sounds absolutely delicious – I could just imagine tucking into it for a meal soon. x
What a fabulous idea for tacos. We like to order these when we go out–taco salads. Normally I eat the shell. This would be so much better!
Oh yum! I’d love a Mexican meal like this. That combination of seasonings sounds really good.
What I love about tacos is that it’s so easy to put together but it’s also packed with flavor. You can also choose which meat you want to pair with it, so it’s perfect for people like me. This is an awesome recipe, thanks!
