No pics of the tacos, but I made ground beef ones tonight,
1lb 80/20 browned and drained
1 taco seasoning packet (too lazy to make my own)
1 8oz can tomato sauce
refill can with water
cooked over medium low heat until the sauce thickened up. Was about 45 minutes for me.
Made refried beans in the Instant Pot, used Jeff from Pressure Luck's recipe. they came out pretty damn good.
Got some fresh made corn tortillas from a Mexican market around the corner, the pack they came in was still warm when I bought it.
I bought this on Amazon, totally unnecessary so it's right up my alley lol. It's super cheap plastic, but was only $35 so I didn't expect anything else. It did make all the toppings more accessible and added to the aura of Taco Tuesday. 6 year old loved it, she also loved making her own taco. And the adult female thought it was super adorable. Both want to have a weekly Taco Tuesday now. Pic was taken before I had finished clearing the table so don't mind the mess lol. It spins like a lazy susan and the pot in the center holds about a lb and can be plugged in to keep it warm. It also comes with 4 plates that have stands for 2 tacos and a suuuuuper tiny bit of room for extra stuff. The green thing in the bottom of the pic is one of the plates. It's called the Nostalgia Taco Tuesday Heated Lazy Susan Topping Bar if anyone's interested.
Made a super simple salsa.
boiled 5 tomatoes (2 big, 3 medium)
2 Serrano chilis with stems removed.
boiled until soft, then tossed everything still whole in my food processor with some cilantro, the juice from a small lime and salt. I didn't measure anything, I started with half a lime and a 10 grinds of salt and kept adding and tasting until it was right. Nothing amazing, but was pretty spicy and tasted fresh. Would be good with whatever pepper you like, and a Tomatillo would have really set it off I bet.
Also made another totally unnecessary purchase, the Blackstone taco shell holder. Made tacos a million times and I usually have a problem with at least 1 or 2 shells cracking when I make fried ones. This helped them keep their shape until someone grabbed one, and it was cheap.
