Homemade Taco Tuesday

By Joy D. July 17, 2018


There is always a big rave about "Taco Tuesday"!  There are memes on social media, there are Taco Tuesday t-shirts, and even Taco Tuesday deals at restaurants!!!  I just so happened to find a nightgown for my daughter with a fun "Taco Tuesday" graphic. When I presented it to her she immediately asked to have tacos on Tuesday.  That's when I had to put my thinking cap on...I get off too late for us to go out to dinner as a family....the tacos would be cold if I brought them home because we live so far....I guess I have to find a good recipe and make them at home....So that's exactly what I did ;-)
