OH Ms Peaches: I LOVE YOU!!!! Thanks so much for all the above. AWESOME. Such inspiration for the rest of us!!!! (As you always are.) ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6600378/images/dOHiWPvUp69l_ZCyMqZ2.png) Our latest discovery is stupidly simple tacos. (Keep in mind both of us are natives to or have lived in Southern California where we have eaten great tacos...) But in our recent lazy days, my husband has been throwing these under the broiler and IT WORKS JUST FINE in lieu of the long taco-making method we normally use (or used to use...says dh). BAKING SHEET...LAY CORN TORTILLAS ON...SPRINKLE WITH SHREDDED CHEESE, SLICED OLIVES, CHOPPED ONIONS, SHREDS OR DICED GREEN CHILES OR ANCHOS (if we have any on hand). BROIL UNTIL CHEESE MELTS. USE SPATULA TO PLACE ONE OR TWO ON A PLATE. (WE LIKE A BIT OF PACE PECANTE (subs for tomatoes) and I LIKE TO ADD A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF HERDEZ GUACAMOLE SALSA TO TOP. EACH PERSON ADDS WHATEVER SAUCE THEY WANT...AND FOLDS UP LIKE A TACO AND ENJOYS. We've been doing this often lately. Could make a meat or fake meat filling...just been too happy with the above so far. YUM. Tonight's dinner...once again. Catbatty

Thank you for your kind words, Catbatty! I've found many good recipes through this board so I like to return the favor when I can.
I made your Simple Tacos last Friday night, and we really enjoyed them! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great. I did add a little shredded grilled chicken to DH's tacos (and he liked that) but I liked the ones without chicken. For cheese, I grated Monterrey Jack and cheddar and mixed them. And I used canned diced green chiles.
I bought a jar of Guacamole Salsa, the On the Border brand, and it was very good but also hot/spicy. Next time I'll try the Herdez brand; it might be a little milder (so I could pour on more without burning my mouth lol!). I don't know how I've missed Guacamole Salsa all these years. I can imagine a lot of uses for it.
One can never have too many tacos!
