Hot-smoked salmon tacos with chipotle crema and kale verde

Once a week, the farm kitchen is transformed into a Tuesday taquería. Whether we use our own chicken, whatever is fresh and fun at the fishmonger (squid is always sensational) or something meaty from the local butcher, I would simply not survive without having a little Mexicana on the supper schedule.
