with Pickled Cucumber & Sriracha Mayo
Combining tender meat, crunchy pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, spicy chilies, and creamy spreads, the Vietnamese banh mi is one of our all-time favorite sandwiches. Here, we take all those same flavors and textures and channel them into some seriously delicious tacos. Tangy-sweet chicken is piled into warm tortillas with sautéed carrots, pickled cucumber, cilantro, and sriracha mayo. Taco ’bout an epic dinner!
