About

I’m sharing my favorite recipe for easy marinated chicken (or steak) tacos. Gifted to me years ago by a dear friend’s momma – she probably doesn’t know how often we make this and how much we love it!
Don't forget to toss your tortillas on an open flame and give them a little color – it makes all the difference!
