I’d been on a culinary adventure lately. In fact, exploring other cuisines is so much fun. I know, I’ve already shared so many recipes from around the world over the past couple of years. At the same time, I noticed that I haven’t told you about a cuisine that I really love to cook and eat. MEXICAN. So, this time, I decided to make the popular Mexican tacos with a salad upgrade. A simple version of tacos with layers of ground beef and salad veggies. Every time I make these tacos, I play around with the veggies depending on what’s in season. Make your own customized taco and enjoy every bite!
