This is such a great option that is completely filling and packed with all the good toppings. I decided to add in some corn to the pico de gallo and it seriously leveled it up. Also necessary is the lime crema to lend that creamy texture! And the cherry on top is the Everything Bagel seasoning which pairs up perfectly with the tacos.
