I keep the tacos simple with just the honey chipotle salmon, a quick guacamole and microgreens. This recipe will sure to be a staple in your house for a quick and satisfying dinner.

Main Ingredients

To make these tacos you will only need a few key ingredients:

• Salmon
• Chipotle Chile Powder
• Honey

• Cilantro
• Corn Tortillas (You can substitute flour tortillas if that is your preference.)
• Shredded Lettuce or Micro Greens – (I used pea shoots because that is what I had on hand)

How to make Honey Chipotle Salmon Tacos

These tacos are ridiculously easy to make, perfect for a busy weeknight.

To start, salmon is roasted in the oven with chipotle chile powder and honey.

In the meantime, while the salmon is cooking I make a quick guacamole. To do this, I simply put avocado, lime, cilantro, olive oil and cumin in a bowl and mash them all together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finally, assemble the tacos! I do this by putting pieces of flaked salmon on corn tortillas with a dollop of guacamole and shredded lettuce or micro greens.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
