Do you know what day it is? … It’s Taco Tuesday! 🎉 Woot Woot.
We have had this taco recipe on our minds for a while! Rather Kim’s mind that is. One day, Kim walked into the kitchen and said “Brit, I have an idea! What if we put butter chicken, Gruyere cheese, lemon coleslaw, and a basil garlic mayo… in a TACO? Hmmm? Doesn’t this sound delicious, I think it sounds pretty delicious…. Make it.” … Brit just stared (this was mostly a one sided conversation). We are pleased to present you with not just the idea of a taco, but with the actual blueprint to make this taco.
Now, don’t be intimidated by this laundry list of a recipe, these tacos are worth the time it takes to prep them. After you have finished making these tacos you may even feel the need to take the next day off of work, not because of the time it will take, but because of the garlic that we packed into these tiny delicious tacos. You wont be visited by vampires anytime soon after you bite into one of these. These tiny tacos are filled with garlic in the best way. The sweet basil garlic mayo is offset by the tart lemon coleslaw and moist buttery chicken. We are about to stop what we are doing here and head back into the kitchen to make some more.
These bright colorful tacos will catch the attention of your guests not just on Taco Tuesdays but on any day of the week.
