Once my husband and I find a meal we love, we stick to it. It’s almost obnoxious. We mention it in casual conversation to anyone who will listen, kinda like our equivalent to name dropping. Adobo lime chicken tacos definitely fall into this category. They are fresh, healthy, and easy to whip up, making them a staple around here as soon as warm weather rolls in.
Add a patio, friends, drinks and a cool breeze and you’ve got yourself a good time. Once you fall in love with them, you totally have permission to “name drop” at the next playdate you attend. I found my favorite recipe on Health.com and adapted it to my family’s tastes. We like ours with extra cilantro.
