Mexican Flag Tacos are a delightful twist to the traditional tacos that everyone loves. The name comes from the toppings of this dish - the red tomato sauce represents the red present in the Mexican flag, the white of the sour cream depicts the middle stripe, and the green guacamole takes the place of the left stripe. These tacos are colorful and packed with flavors! The tender chicken in tomato sauce and jalapenos make a delicious filling that pairs perfectly with the creamy guacamole. This dish is perfect for those who want to try something new, exciting, and full of flavors!
