Thai Chicken Tacos

It's Taco Tuesday and today I am sharing a quick & healthy lunch idea that is quick to make but is BIG on flavour! This is a great meal prep recipe to have on hand for those busy times or for a quick lunch on the go. The longest part of the recipe is the marinating (which can be done over night!) to help save time.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do 😊
