The long weekend is upon us and we want you to get the most out of it. That’s why we’re sharing this recipe again. We’ve fed these savory, lime and beer infused, plant-powered tacos to our pickiest friends and family members, and won them over time and time again. These tacos are great for bringing to a BBQ or gobbling up on Taco Tuesday. Cheers!
