Edamame Tacos with Chipotle Mayo

Posted on by January 20, 2015

I love these Edamame Tacos with Chipotle Mayo. They came about during my time teaching Public Health Law at the University of Pennsylvania.

One of the new trucks that opened while I worked there was called Tyson’s Bees. It was Korean Taco fusion and it was really really popular.

Another versatile element of this dish is that by changing up the peppers, you can change the spice level with ease.
