Notes
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- You can buy balsamic glaze if you don’t want to make it. We recommend heating it before adding it to the tacos.
- Tortillas are always best when warmed. We recommend heating them over an open flame if you have a gas stove. Put the flame on medium and CAREFULLY put the tortilla on the burner for approximately 30 seconds, then flip with a long pair of tongs and heat for another 15 to 30 seconds.
- You can also heat in the oven or in the microwave.
