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.
