Although I don't like cutting corners when I'm cooking, I always look for easier ways to make a dish. I like to find simpler methods that save me time, but I also try not to sacrifice the taste of the original recipe. I'll often try a recipe for the first time without caring about how long it takes me or how much it costs. Then, once I feel comfortable with how to prepare it, I try to figure out ways to make it more quickly and cost-effectively. That's exactly how I discovered how to make these salmon tacos. I was at a fancy restaurant and I ordered salmon pipian enchiladas. They were delicious but they're also a lot of work to prepare at home. So I decided to try if this recipe would taste just as good in a taco; Not only was it fantastic, but much faster to make!
