Instead of using a jalapeño pepper, bottled jalapeños can be used. Substitute 1/4 cup of bottled jalapeño for 1 chili.

Try low-carb tortillas for a more filling option. Note that these tortillas are not usually gluten-free.

This is the perfect meal for summertime and I love that it's so easy to make! I don't recall ever having lime in my tacos and I've never been much of a lime kinda gal, but I've never met a taco I didn't like or want to gobble up. The sour cream cilantro lime mixture sounds super flavorful and rich at the same time and I'm betting it'll be amazing with the rest of the ingredients and some homemade corn tortillas. Yum!
