Every single flavor of the dressing complemented every single ingredient in the tacos and we were hooked!


The importance of a darn good sauce

Keeping a few sauces in your rotation can make a vegetable packed mealtime so exciting and delicious! Sauces carry the work of seasoning your food.

If you have a good arsenal of sauces, you can mix and match the sauce and meal time becomes quick and easy.

    This is a great jumping off point! We added 1tsp paprika (instead of chipotle since we didn’t have it), 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and a scant Tbs of Worcestershire sauce. Yummy!
