The inspiration for these tacos came to me one day when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to use up some radishes that I had in my fridge. I had never thought of using radishes in tacos before, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked. The radishes added a peppery bite that was balanced out by the sweetness of the carrots and bell pepper. The cilantro added a fresh and herbaceous flavor, while the avocado slices added creaminess and richness. These tacos were a hit with my family and friends, and I've been making them ever since.
