I imagine that if I ordered a taco on the streets of Mexico, this is what it would taste like. I’ve never been to Mexico, so it’s possible I’m totally off with my assessment. That being said, this is a nice change from the typical shredded lettuce and saucy beef tacos — which are also super yummy, but serve a different purpose. This taco is light, fun, and colorful. Even as I eat it with the heat turned up in my apartment, I think of sun-soaked streets and the cheerful brightness of summer.   Yields 8 tacos
