I am genuinely tremendously obsessed with this recipe, and not just because it’s delicious. I just won’t post a recipe that isn’t delicious, but this one?
It’s super stinkin’ easy, it makes plenty, it tastes even better the next day, and leftovers are super versatile. Plus, the pickled red onions? They’re as tasty as they are easy, and they really elevate this from “crap I have to throw this in the Crock-Pot before I leave for work” to worthy of posting on your Facebook Stories.
Yucatan-inspired, taco-focused, balanced, hearty, protein-heavy, divine.
