My husband loves anything wrapped up in a tortilla shell that you can eat with your hands: breakfast burritos, tacos, wraps, kale tacos, pita sandwiches—if you can stuff it in some sort of flat bread, Craig will eat it!
And his latest creation . . . . .

Tasted just like a taco! I love how he beefed up the filling with extra vegetables—carrots and red pepper—you couldn’t even tell!
Mmmm, we love tacos too! These look great – I’ll have to make them when it stops raining and feels more like fish taco weather 🙂
I haven’t had tacos in so long but yours looking amazing. Maybe that is what I’ll have too cook up my Mexican boyfriend when he comes and visits. I mean I love shrimp and he loves tacos so it may be perfect.
