Holidays and celebrations are great times where we can gather together as friends, neighbors, and families to celebrate. The challenge we all face is avoiding getting into a culinary rut. What is a culinary rut? Well, a culinary rut is when we continuously prepare and eat the same food over and over. As a chef, I consistently challenge myself to freshen up recipes and give them a fresh new spin. In doing so, I find that my family re-discovers a classic or familiar flavor and a new spin makes it taste like a new dish.

Tacos are a perfect candidate for a refresh don’t you think? It’s also a perfect time as Cinco de Mayo is upon us and why not wake up your old taco recipe with this Zesty Jícama, Cilantro, and Lime Slaw? I originally posted this on my personal website MarinateMeBaby.com and now bring it here to share with you.

I hope you enjoy!
