This lentil salad, is packed with veggies, flavor from a lemon vinaigrette that’s so refreshing, and looks beautiful. What a treat!
Crunchy Chicken Tacos
Hard shell tacos are a version of tacos that’s unique and popular because they are delicious and its crunchy texture is so enjoyable. The meat should be well seasoned to impart flavor through each bite and the toppings add an extra touch of magic. For instance; this marinade has chipotle and paprika for smokiness, lime to bring balance and a few spices for complex flavors. These tacos not only look amazing but are a crowd pleaser!
Pepinada and Mangonada Drinks
Mangonada and pepinada are two very similar frozen drinks. Depending on the drink, a flavored sorbet is paired with chamoy, tajin and fruit to create a burst of flavor. It’s a celebration of flavors and there is no doubt mangos, cucumbers and chamoy were meant for each other. So delicious!
