    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a generous amount of chopped buche. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, and slices of radish.

  4. 4

    Add Lime and Salsa

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and add a spoonful of salsa verde to each taco.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the buche tacos immediately with extra lime wedges and salsa on the side.
