Tips

  • The marinade is the most important thing here, but good thing it's easy.
  • If you're going to have one topping on this taco, it's got to be salsa verde.
  • You can definitely make this inside on a plancha or cast iron pan, but it's only right to grill this up if you got the chance.
  • These tacos are one of the best for a reason: simple and filled with flavor.
