Soft Tacos for everyone


One of the things I have to consider when I make dinner these days is how to make a meal for the two who eat "normally" and me - the one who no longer eats sugar and most wheat and dairy.
I like these buffet type meals because everyone can choose what they want. Yup - there are some picky eaters in my family, but I guess I'm one too now.

Yesterday: By making the black beans from scratch (I make a lot and freeze some as well as use them for flour-less Brownies) the previous day, it makes my dinner prep a lot easier.

1-5 hours before: * wash and chop up lettuce,olives and green onions for soft tacos
                           * put together fruit and veggie platter
                            * shred cheese

20 min before:  * Cook up 1/2 # 85/15 hamburger and 1/2# turkey burger,
                        (add what you'd like - I used oregano, cumin, garlic, and dried onions).
                         * set the table - w condiments, tortillas, fruit & veggie platter, etc.
                        * warm up the beans in the microwave
                        * prepare alternate wraps (I used 2 tapioca wraps under warm water for 40 seconds)
Put all the warm things on the table and eat.

You'll notice that we also have Beef Fajitas as another meat option on our table. See Better Homes and Gardens p.255 for that recipe (a photo of that is below).
