It’s never too early to start thinking about Taco Tuesday! With a spicy kick and a lot of crunch, Turkey Wonton Tacos were an instant hit in my house. Appetizer or main course?  You decide! As of late, I’ve really been into pickling vegetables and the sweet and salty components of the pickled carrots and cucumbers balance the heat from the spicy aioli. (Hint: It’s super easy and not intimidating at all, I promise.) We had a few extra wontons leftover and broke them into chips and dipped them into the aioli too! What’s your go-to taco recipe?
