chow mein tacos

So you know how I’m a voracious taco fan? I seriously can’t get enough of them, and eat them almost every day in one form or another. Well, I came up with something new that I just love. I made up a batch of my chicken chow mein and had some leftover the next day. It looked really good and was calling my name around lunch time. But I also wanted tacos. What to do? Well, make chow mein tacos of course!

You can use shrimp, pork, or beef chow mein in place of the chicken, if that’s what you prefer or have on hand.

corn or flour taco tortillas

chow mein or chop suey (any type)

soy sauce

shredded carrots or cabbage slaw (with or without dressing)

thinly sliced green onions or chives

shredded lettuce

peanuts

cilantro

sriracha, sambal oelek, or your favorite hot sauce

crunchy chow mein noodles

light drizzle of toasted sesame seed oil

Lightly toast tortillas, one at a time, on a hot burner. Flip frequently so they don’t burn.

Heat leftover chow mein or chop suey (if using leftovers.)

Place some of the heated chow mein/chop suey in toasted tortillas. Sprinkle on a little soy sauce and other ingredients, in order listed.

Enjoy!
