We are almost done! It has been a long month! As of today, the only money we have spent on eating out was about $4 for Eli's Happy Birthday Happy Meal! For birthdays, we take them the lunch of their choice to school. We couldn't skip Eli's special day! :)
Last night I made Baked Tacos. They were really good! Thumbs up from the whole team! Well, Eli technically gave me a sideways thumb because I put too much meat in them and his fell apart! :) Such a critic!
They were fairly easy to make. I loved the idea of toasting them upside down on the oven rack! Just be careful when toasting up your tortillas not to burn them. I only burned one which is amazing! I'm notorious for burning tortillas in my house! I used both corn and flour tortillas. They both turned out great. By toasting the tortillas in the oven, it makes the base wide enough to fill them without them falling over, which is AWESOME!
The meat mixture for this is amazing. By adding the refried beans, you can make your meat mixture go farther. It also bumped up the fiber and protein. My boys didn't even know it had beans in it! This is probably how I'll make my tacos from now on! They are that good! :) I highly recommend these!
