Tasty Tacos


So - one reader already commented that the picture I took makes my tasty tacos look not so tasty - I hope that you do not agree. First, let me give credit where it is due. I recently watched Taco 101 on Food Network's program "Good Eats". Afterwards, being a fan of mexican and hispanic foods, I was inspired to try making the traditional Mexican tacos instead of our American Tex-Mex version. The tacos were so tasty! I did everything from the home-made taco seasoning to frying the soft corn tortillas to make our own crispy shelled tacos. For taco options we cut up and mixed up roma tomatoes and tomatillos, wal-mart's "fresh, homemade style" salsa from the fresh vegetable section (this particular salsa was very tasty and slightly sweet which added a delicious flavor to the tacos and a contrast to the spiciness), queso fresco, shredded lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream. Even my slightly picky eater here at home dived in and gobbled them up!

Enjoy the tasty tacos and check out the recipe at Food Network's website. Look up tacos and then go to the left hand column and select the show Good Eats. As we say in Spanish - Buen Provecho!
