I may be one of the only people in my age demographic who’ll admit to this, but I’m not the biggest taco fan. I actually kind of hate tacos. And by “kind of” I mean I very strongly dislike them. It it’s an aversion that’s more about the experience than the taste. More on that tomorrow.
That said, I love many of the foods that tacos incorporate. One of my favorites is pickled red onions. This recipe will turn any taco (or taco-inspired dish) into a (positive!) experience.
I especially love them in a salad (taco-esque or not) but feel free to get creative.
