The story behind
I remember making these for a group of friends who are huge meat eaters, and honestly, they didn't even notice the difference until I told them! This recipe reminds me of beach trips and easy-going potlucks. It originated from a mix of Southeast Asian ingredients meeting Mexican tradition. It's the perfect lunch for a sunny afternoon. I highly recommend pairing these with a crisp lager or a spicy ginger beer to cut through the smokiness of the sauce.
