Tips and Warnings

  • Store: Refrigerate filling leftovers up to 5 days in an airtight container. Since filling is saucy and radishes are sturdy, there is nothing to get soggy. Reheat on a skillet with a splash of water or chicken broth on low heat.
  • Make ahead: Chop garlic, onion and bell pepper and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also slice radishes. Then just cook when ready.
  • For serving cooked tacos later, I placed taco filling in small slow cooker and turned on “keep warm”.
  • Warm tortillas: If you have gas stove, warm up tortilla right on the burner to char the edges or in the microwave.
  • Other vegetables: Skip radishes or use shredded jicama or turnip instead. Cauliflower rice is an obvious choice!
