Don't judge your taco by its price.

What night is it?!? 

It's Taco Night!

I am pretty sure that someday, this will be a weekly event...

Husband and I were discussing what I should make for dinner tonight and when I mentioned Mexican, the Husband and I both got excited. 

Operation Dinner Decided Completed.

I texted my house husband (this week only) what I would need to accomplish our desired dinner, he told me if we needed it or not, I went to the store on the way home and got to it.

Stirring the chicken and vegetables regularly, heat the black beans in a saucepan.

While the bean and chicken mixtures are cooking (Don't forget to stir both occasionally), prep small bowl of grated cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

Mix together the salad dressing (if you are having salad) and chop tomato, lettuce, and avocado.

Husband making the ultimate in large taco...


Husband devour!

This was a simple and easy dish that hit all the taste bud needs as well as dietary. Very easy and fresh, and individual as it is the "create your own" style of meal. Maybe, for the picky eaters out there, cooking everything separately. As I am married to an easy stomach, I don't have to worry about that though.

Until the next meal...
