I was so excited to use watermelon radishes in these tacos. They are finally back in season and I will use any excuse to sneak them into a recipe. They are deliciously spicy and add the most amazing pop of color to any meal. We love adding them in salads, tacos, and power bowls for a great crunchy texture.
