My family loves taco nights – Chicken tacos, Fish tacos, Shrimp tacos, Chickpea tacos, or Cauliflower tacos. It is a clean plate club (borrowing this from one of my favorite Youtube cooking channel – Binging with Babish)
Tacos are delicious, customizable and you get to eat with your hands. How fun!
