Taco Night

This is always a fun one. Put a bunch of bowls on the table and let everyone serve themselves. Doris keeps serving herself more and more until I tell her to stop or she licks the serving spoon clean. And of course, a big mess.

We like double decker tacos. I learned about these when I was a Taco Bell eater (and a meat eater) in college. It's a flour tortilla with refried beans spread on it and then a hard taco shell inside. Then random taco fillings inside. We used refried black beans, which are much tastier than the pinto bean kind but hard to find. I was lucky at the grocery store last night. Doris eats them by the spoonful right out of the bowl... Taco filling was burger crumbles seasoned with cumin and chili powder, organic mild sharp cheddar cheese, fresh salsa, guacamole (two avocados mashed with lime juice), and pepper sauce. Doris learned to eat a taco (tilt your head and take a bite). We've got a video of her building her taco and another of her eating it.

Shells and tortillas: $2.69
Beans: 89 cents
crumbles: $2
cheese: $1.50
salsa: $1
avocados: $4
lime juice, pepper sauce, & spices: 50 cents

Total: $12.58 ($4.19 per person)

Expensive and I blame the avocados. They are really tasty but way too much money.
