Take note
Be careful not to overfill your tacos, or they might burst open at the seams! Also, be mindful of any allergies or dietary restrictions when selecting your ingredients.

1

Prepare the Banh Mi tacos

Take your soft flour tortillas and warm them up in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds on each side. This will make them more pliable and easier to fold.

2

Spread on the sauce

Now it's time to give your tacos a flavor boost! Spread a generous amount of Sriracha mayonnaise or your favorite spicy sauce on each tortilla. This will add a tangy kick to your tacos.

3

Layer on the protein

Choose your protein of choice. Grilled lemongrass chicken, marinated pork, or even tofu work great in Banh Mi Tacos. Place a few slices or cubes of your protein on top of the sauce.

4

Add the pickled veggies

Next, add a heap of pickled veggies on each taco. These tangy and crunchy veggies are the heart and soul of Banh Mi. Use a mix of carrot and daikon radish, thinly sliced and lightly pickled in vinegar and sugar.

5

Sprinkle on the herbs

Give your tacos a burst of freshness with some fresh herbs. Cilantro, mint, and Thai basil are classic choices. Tear or chop the leaves and sprinkle them on top of the pickled veggies.

6

Finish with toppings

To complete your Banh Mi Tacos, add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, a squeeze of lime juice, and a drizzle of fish sauce or soy sauce. These toppings will add extra flavor and texture.

7

Fold and enjoy!

Carefully fold each tortilla in half, creating a taco shape. Press gently to secure the filling. Now it's time to take a big bite and enjoy the explosion of flavors in each bite!
