Le Chicken Spicy 'ish' Taco





It's time for another mexican influenced recipe, why? Because I just received a box of costumes and I found a bottle of tequila I had hid from myself under the bed. I like to call this one:

Le pone mucha crema a sus tacos
an old spanish saying

In English: He/She puts too much cream on their tacos = To exaggerate in a boastful and conceited way (about my tacos, of course?)


  Yep i have been in the tequila already.....
