Tacos are originally from Mexico. It can be prepared using any protein of choice such as beef, chicken, shrimps and fish. I made this specially for my sisters when they came visiting during Eid and they loved it. #eidrecipe

Note: You can use already made taco shells instead of tortilla wraps. To mimic the already made taco shells, fold the tortilla wrap into a semi circle and arrange at the bottom of a muffin pan and bake in a oven with the bottom side up. Use fresh cilantro for the salsa if available. You can combine the taco cream with the guacamole instead of preparing each separately.
