Hi guys! For today’s recipe, you will learn how to make Chicken Mexican Tacos at home.
I wanted to keep this taco recipe as authentic and traditional as possible, which is why I chose to add street style corn and home-made pico de gallo. A taco is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn tortilla folded or rolled around a filling.
