Taco Tuesdays are fun right! Specially when you are HUGE Taco fan and want to get a great flavor change every time you want to make a Taco at home.

I love Mexican food,specially because one can do so many things with one basic recipe, so many variations / changes are possible to make amazing Taco/Tortilla wrap/Burrito/Quesadilla/Taquitos....list is endless!
I recently made these Chicken and Cream Cheese Taquitos,they turned out to be soooo amazingly good. Do check that recipe and try it.You are gonna love it for sure.
Many more recipes to follow but coming back to this Taco.

Bang Bang shrimp is amazingly crispy,flavorful and yummy! Sauce that they are coated with is made of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce and Sriracha,yumm!
I made slaw at home to go with these Taco, the slaw is very basic and simple yet very flavorful.It even reminds of KFC slaw sometimes.
One more addition I did to these amazing Taco is Pickled Pineapple pieces- yes I have shared this recipe of Pickled Pineapple before.  Have you tried that? It even tastes awesome just to have like a snack.
