dinner

easy chicken tacos

I go through moments of craving many things and tex-mex is one of them. At the same however, once you have had real Mexican, it is hard to go back. This is dish is my brain child of the two. A little bit tex-mexy a little bit authentic. A good go to for mid week dinners and you’ll nail nachos with these left overs.

Serves 4

I am at my happiest when sharing food with my favourite people. I care deeply about nourishing our bodies with goodness. I don’t believe in dieting, I don’t believe in fads, I believe in feeding your body simply with home made deliciousness.
