Mexico and Hawaii are an ocean apart, and their cuisines are no closer. Until our mad scientists in the Home Chef test kitchen decided to fuse Hawaiian flavors to Mexican techniques. And now… it'sssss allliiivvveeeeeee!! Alive with that sweet Hawaiian BBQ flavor of huli huli, topping a crunchy tortilla that makes for a messy, but satisfying meal. Don't let an ocean separate you from this tasty dinner.
