Cooking in Your Camper Van
Why do American’s love tacos so much? It could be the fact that they’re the ultimate handheld food or that you can literally put anything in them and they will taste incredible. The internet’s taco obsession isn’t going anywhere… cue the meme, “I wish I was full of tacos instead of emotions,” and to be clear, we’re here for it. That’s why today we are sharing our own chicken taco van recipe. It’s simple, it’s delicious and it can be modified to fit your culinary needs.
Dress them up or down, and don’t be shy about it. Tacos are great to fit each individual preference and while we love our recipe, we encourage you to take it and then make it your own. Check it out below.
