Drizzle the maple syrup over the Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let those flavors mingle and dance together before it's time to assemble your masterpiece!

Now, grab a tortilla, load it up with those flavorful Brussels sprouts and crispy bacon, generously drizzle it with the vibrant Chimichurri Sauce, top it off with crumbled cotija cheese, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Voila! Your Brussels Sprout Tacos are ready to steal the show!
