Thai Tacos

A lot of families make tacos for mid week dinners because they’re easy, delicious and everyone can modify them to their own preference. Mark and I love larb dishes at Thai restaurants and have modified our taco night dish so that instead of pork inside a crisp corn taco shell, I create a larb style dish by sauteing ground pork with garlic, basil, Thai chilies and fish sauce. Then I put out small dishes of cilantro, raw sweet onions, chopped tomatoes, limes and iceberg lettuce leaves. Next, we fill the lettuce leaves with the pork and add a small amount of each item to the lettuce and wrap it up. Several adaptations could be made to the Thai tacos, like using ground turkey or chicken, or sauteing the meat with lemongrass or ginger or even use grilled steak or pork tenderloin or even grilled halibut would be a delicious option.  Serve up these Thai tacos with a cold pilsner or chilly ice tea, ahhh refreshing!
