The Thai vacation you were dreaming of for 2020 may be on the back burner. (Was that just me dreaming of beaches and pad Thai? Aren't we all at this point?) We can't give you one night in Bangkok, but we can give you delicious tacos with Asian-inspired flavors, a ginger-y slaw to die for, and the best part of the chicken, the thigh, as the base. A delicious dinner can take you places that you can't go in person.
