Notes

Feel free to customize your tacos with different proteins, such as grilled shrimp or jackfruit for a vegetarian option. For extra flavor, brush the tortillas lightly with oil before warming. Store leftover components separately in airtight containers to maintain freshness and avoid soggy tacos. Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor and don’t skip the cilantro; it’s essential for that authentic experience!
