For those looking to make Taco Tuesday a meal to remember, try out this recipe with some of our favorite taco toppings! We love the oh-so-delicious addition of salty pickled red onions to any type of taco concoction. Twidley Bits' tasty version is pickled with bay leaves and black peppercorns for a winning flavor profile. Sauce fans will love drizzling Aman's mouth-watering Achars, a do-anything Indian pickled condiment, all over their taco creations. Choose from three addicting flavors Mango Piquin Chili, Sesame Tomatillo, and Garlic Serrano Mustard for your ultimate flavor combination! For adventurous eaters that love a bit of the unexpected, try adding Pickled Prince's Pineapple Habanero Hot Sauce, a bright hot sauce that combines pineapple, orange, and habanero. You will love having this unique sauce stocked in your pantry for chicken fajitas, fried rice, late-night hot wings, or marinades.
