This particular recipe is so easy; simple ingredients yet lots of flavor! I’ve been experimenting with corn on the cob and just a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper goes a loooooong way. I ate almost half a cob before getting it to the mixing bowl!

This recipe also happens to be on the healthy and it's even vegetarian!. Super bonus right? You can just remove the queso and it’s vegan! So many options. Make sure to add that lime juice and squeeze a little extra on top just before you eat! Gives a little extra zing to these tacos, which have rapidly become one of my favorites. It’s just so easy, and quick! These tacos will definitely satisfy any mexican food craving heading your way.
