Tacos? On a MONDAY? Y’all knew we were crazy. Contrary to popular belief, you can in fact enjoy tacos on a day other than Tuesday. Shocker, right? Tacos on a Monday is the absolute perfect start to your week. You can eat ‘em with your hands, get a little messy, and we all know Mondays can be messy anyways. So, that’s the vibe tonight, folks. Grab a napkin and pile those corn tortillas high with your spiced, braised and shredded chicken, beans, pico and even salsa verde. A pro tip: schmear some of your beans on that tortilla first. It’s like glue, but made of beans. Bean glue. Taco time.
