Seeing as how I never got around to posting a menu last week, and since this week is practically finished, I think I will focus on our favorite meal.
TACOS.
I don't think we've ever declared it to be our favorite. But I usually make it once a week.
And no one complains.
That says "favorite" to me.
I always start with a can of refried black beans. This is key.
It's like the glue that holds everything together. Because who wants a taco blow-out?
The fillings vary.
Our current favorite is a zucchini-squash mixture. I chop it small and add it to a hot skillet with some onion and cook until soft.
Other common fillers: sautéed peppers, shredded cabbage, avocados, salad greens, corn, tofu, and tomatoes.
I think you can put just about anything in a corn tortilla, add some salsa, and call it dinner.
And don't forget the sour cream.
Some words on sour cream: There are good dairy free versions out there. I like the Follow Your Heart brand. But you know...it's just not the same.
This is one of those areas where I break the rules. I use sour cream made from milk that comes from a cow. It just tastes better.
I've accepted the fact that I'm not willing to compromise on sour cream.
Salsa, however, lends itself to experimentation.
Go on. Get crazy.

"taco blow out"---*snicker*
I'm tempted to make a dirty comment about tacos, but instead I will declare my love for Mexican food. One of the shared joys between CA and TX. I KNOW we both have great choices ;)
Ha! That made me laugh too! I love the ideas for different fillings. We should mix it up more around here. ;)
Those look really delicious.
I'm having tacos today, but of the meat kind! :)
Mmm, tacos. We had those this week too. I love your filling ideas and will definitely be stealing some of those! (it's okay to cheat on dairy sometimes -- it's one of those things that sometimes you just need the real thing! like brie. sometimes you just need some brie)
yellow squash/zuchini in tacos?
pure. genius.
and i whole heartily agree on the black refried bean as a must, i often make pinto beans too and put them on the refried beans, super texture combo.
yum, tacos.
tacos are a favorite around here too. and yeah, when it comes to sour creme, you need the real deal.
You are the wife my husband wishes he had. seriously he always wants to eat all healthy and shit and I try. I do. But I usually end up with ground beef tacos. But we add tomatoes. And avocado. And sour cream.
You make me want to be a better woman. Good thing I give good, um, hugs. Must be why he keeps me around.
ha.
We had tacos just last night. Such an easy easy meal, and tastes great. Cami is with you on the sour cream. Last night we were without and she stuck out her bottom lip saying "where's the sour cream?"
Tacos are tops. You have just confirmed my belief in this fact.
