#SundaySupper: Spice-Rubbed Chicken Tacos with Tropical Salsa

TUM_ChickenTaco_0113_1

When I first started blogging, I didn’t realize it’s be so much fun. I get a chance to meet new friends, try new recipes, be part of a group, and so much more. It’s so addicting! One of my favorites is this #SundaySupper that we’re celebrating its first birthday this week, which also means we’re making some of our favorite Sunday Supper recipes from the past year. Believe me, there are loads of recipes that I want to try. I wish I could just stay at home and made them all.

So, I finally decided to start with this one, which I found the recipe on Sunday Supper site. The original recipe uses shrimp as the main ingredients; however since Frederick is allergic to shrimp, I substituted shrimp with chicken. It’s definitely something you don’t want to miss. Happy Birthday Sunday Supper! Thanks for making my kitchen adventures flavorful!
