Another taco that breaks the norm with fantastic results!
This one was a surprise for sure. We wanted to step out of the normal taco and try something different. Most of the time it falls short but this one blew us away. We will certainly make this one again, probably sooner than later.
Taste: ?????This is easily one of the best taco’s we’ve made yet, and might even challenge for the top spot. The Korean BBQ sauce is fantastic and goes great with standard taco toppings. While not your typical vegetarian taco, this one is exceptionally good. |
Difficulty: ????While this isn’t terribly hard, it took a bit longer than the original recipe described. To speed it up you could remake the marinade before hand, then marinade while prepping the toppings. |
Cost: ???If you have all the marinade oils and vinegar, then this one is fairly cheap. But if you don’t this one is a slightly steep “buy in”. |
Overall: ????We LOVED this one. The taste was amazing and we couldn’t eat them fast enough. It really is worth the extra ingredients up front if you don’t have them already. |
Verdict: Yes taco!!
