Sweet and sour lives, in our minds, in Chinese cuisine, but fusion does wonders, as it does here: tofu, fresh bell peppers, tangy sweet and sour sauce, and that unique flavor of mango are the perfect combination for a taco. And with a slightly spicy slaw on top? The wonders of cultural combination continue on.
