If I make these again, I'd bake the tofu. They just never seem to come out quite right when I pan fry. Chimichurri was pretty good.
Loved the chimichurri crema. We used plain yogurt instead of sour cream. No corn on the cob yet in Montana so just had the tacos, which were delicious.
Chimichurri sauce is always a winner. In this dish, it's no different. A great meal that can be customized for each family member.
Really good! The crema was delicious and overall easy to make with ingredients we had around already.
A new favorite! Enjoyed everything about this meal - the taste and how easy it was to come together.
