I love Mexican food. I repeat: I love Mexican food.
Tamales, chile verde, mole, homemade salsa…I could eat all of it, all day, everyday. However, more than any other dish, I’m currently hooked on tacos.
I made these grilled chicken tacos for Michel and I last week, and we both really enjoyed them. Long, stressful days at work call for a little bit of indulgence, and enjoying a couple of these for dinner was a nice way to transition into the late evening and relax.
All that we were missing were margaritas!
