I made these tacos tonight and they were not only super quick and easy to make but so amazingly delicious! So happy to have a healthy alternative to the usual tacos. Will definitely make these again! ?
So happy you love them too! Thanks for sharing!
These are great! The crispy avocado is so crunchy and still filling and delicious! I actually substituted the siete tortillas instead of the lettuce which is great but I’m sure the lettuce is as well. Was just feeling like the tortilla that day!
Meant to leave it 5 stars but I pressed done too early.
