McCormick®

The Arabic tacos, close relatives of tacos al pastor, originated in the state of Puebla with the arrival of migrants from Iraq, who transformed their traditional recipes and used very Mexican spices and ingredients to give us this Mexican treat that we all love.

They are usually made with pork, onion, spices, and more, but we decided to give them a twist and make them with chicken marinated with McCormick® Balance with almond oil; it's the ideal recipe for a family meal or a gathering!
