Tacos are one of my favorite snack foods. In recent years, they have made quite a comeback, making appearances at 5 star restaurants and featuring unexpected ingredients like lobster, kimchi, and portobellos, much to my delight. However, I often don’t feel super full after tacos, and decided to make them a bit more substantial by using naan instead of typical flour or corn tortillas. The obviously go great with classic Indian butter chicken and some classic taco toppings. This spicy recipe only takes 30 minutes and will definitely keep you sated.
