Abi Comeau says:
Delicious and easy! The sriracha sauce was SO good. I did half the amount of sriracha the recipe called for, and it was perfect if you don’t like too much heat. I accidentally got broccoli slaw and it was still delicious, and I added avocado. I’ll definitely be making these again, thanks!
Christina says:
Delicious and very spicy!! Tried the sauce when I was making it and my mouth was on fire but still absolutely delish.
Shawna says:
These were delicious! Made them tonight and were a huge hit. Is the serving size/nutritional info for one taco? So about 163 calories per taco? Thanks!
Christine McMichael replied:
So glad you liked them, Shawna! Yes the nutritional info is for each taco. 🙂
