Plant-Based Chicken Tinga Tacos with Guacamole

Akhtar Nawab

295 reviews

With classic Mexican spices and the freshest ingredients available, you will love these zesty tinga tacos. While Daring's Original Plant Chicken Pieces are endless versatile, their perfect juicy, chicken texture and savory flavor shine in these tacos. The plant-based chicken is flavored with chipotle peppers, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano and served in soft corn tortillas with fresh guacamole, onions, and cilantro for the complete taco joint experience. They're saucy, spicy perfection.

The taste is amazing. The texture is a bit of an issue but if you cut the "chicken" pieces up that problem is solved.

Loved this but a tiny bit of rice would’ve been nice!
