A new twist on tacos! Thai Green Curry Tacos are a fabulous Asian/Mexican fusion recipe to try. Gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-friendly, these tacos will make for a delicious and healthy dinner or lunch!

The lack of taco sharing on this blog is abominable! Actually, I take that back. Overall, I have shared 3 taco recipes, but none have been within the past year! I’m not even sure when I originally made these, but they’ve been waiting to be posted for quite some time. A fresh, healthy, “green” recipe seems perfect to share in January as well! “Traditional” tacos aren’t necessarily associated with healthy food, but there are so many light and beautiful options out there now!

We used to eat tacos weekly when I was growing up. 100% NOT gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan. We’re talking Old El Paso and ground beef. My mom always made it a fun dinner though. She’d lay out all the toppings in separate bowls and create a “taco bar” on the dinner table for my brother and I to each create our personalized tacos. We were the “semi-homemade” family to a T!

In 2017, branching out of traditional family dinners and making more exotic offerings at home is all the buzz. So take a classic, the taco, and make it extra special! Thai Green Curry Tacos! Fusing some Asian cuisine with Mexican for the ultimate delicious taco recipe. Filled with green curry, hearts of palm, snow peas, lemongrass, mushrooms, green onions, and a whole host of more flavor enhancers! Of course, all enclosed in a crunchy blue corn taco shell (wishing they made green corn shells…). These tacos with take your semi-homemade dinner to 100% homemade, healthy, and delicious!

I am loving this spin on tacos! We used have taco night too – the same as you guys, Old El Paso and my mom totally set up a taco bar too. Our moms are too cute!
I have also branched out and figured out easy ways to make them vegan & gluten-free, but with fake beef crumbles or beans – I LOVE your thai curry ones. They sound super delicious. And they are SO PRETTY!

Your description of taco night growing up sounds EXACTLY like how mine was when I was a kid!!! El Paso, beef, and taco bar toppings…so crazy to look back at that! Things have changed SO much and for the better and waaaay more topping/filling options. These look and sound incredible, my friend! I love your choice of ingredients here too…so creative and different! I LOVE curry, but never thought to intertwine tacos + curry! And those crispy shells look so perfect! YUM! xo
