Still Working on our Two Week Menu

I am still working on my menu below:https://www.facebook.com/AMomsLove/posts/10151881887942451 I made the tacos....made my own tortillas, but used white flour and not whole wheat, made my own taco seasoning listed below. Served them with grated cheese, pace salsa and sour cream. It was truly delicous. Nothing like homemade tortillas!  I doubled the recipe for the tortillas and tonight we are going to have tortillas with the black beans and cheese and salsa.

Cinco de Mayo

We had a very nice Cinco de Mayo.
I just made tacos, but I made them from scratch, not the
tortillas, though.

I cut up onion and browned it and put a pound and an half of ground sirloin. I let that brown a little,
added about 4 tbsp. of chili powder, Mrs. Dash chipolte seasoning, salt, fresh ground multi colored pepper, and 2 minced cloves of garlic. I let it all cook on simmer while I…

cut up tomatoes, lettuce,yellow peppers, onion, openend up some fresh salsa from the store and good quality guacamole and sour cream to use as toppings for the tacos. I also had the large flour tortillas warming in the oven in tin foil.

Served everything with Ice Tea and threw in some white taco chips…..I can tell you we are all stuffed.
