It's May 5th....

So, let's be frank. My last few posts have been boring and I've been close to pressing the delete button since I wrote them. However, I'll leave them of evidence of my lazy, pathetic cooking for another day.

TODAY IS TACO DAY! So, let's get started.

The key to any good taco, in my opinion, is amazing guacamole. Of course I come home from work and realize I have none of the ingredients I need - off to the grocery store I go. Here is the complete list of items you will need:

-lettuce
-tomato
-avocado
-ground beef
-salt
-pepper
-red chili flakes
-powdered chili
-onion


Chop up some onion nice and small.
Chop up some tomato so they are in relatively small pieces.
Cut open your avocado - Don't know how? Slice all the way around from top to bottom (not side to side). Peel the sides apart, remove the center, and scrape out the avocado with a spoon.
Then add your onion and tomato to the avocado - salt and pepper to taste, as well as throw some chili flakes for some kick (if you buy jalapenos, I wish you the best of luck).

Throw it in the fridge, and lets get cooking some tacos!

Throw the ground beef into a pan - break it up so it won't stick together. Throw some onions in. Cook on medium-high heat until brown. Strain out the juice leftover, and throw in a bowl for tacos.

Warm up some flour tortilla (No, I'm not a machine - I bought these). Approximately 1:00 minute per 2 tortilla in the microwave. If you have a grill top stove (I'm beyond lucky, I do). Heat it up and throw those suckers on there until they are warm enough for your liking.

Get out your preferred cheese, the guacamole, some sour cream, salsa - and whatever else you would like to add.


Throw it all in a tortilla and you have yourself a DAMN GOOD TACO.

I also threw some refried beans from a can into a pot and warmed those up for about 4-5 minutes on medium heat to add some more to the meal.


Tres Leches cake is in the oven! I will post all the details later when it's finished. :-)
