Taco Round Up

Debo's Ultimate Sausage Taco Supreme

Guacamole is an avocado-based dip that originated in Mexico. It is traditionally made by mashing ripe avocados with a molcajete (mortar and pestle) with sea salt. Some recipes call for tomato, onion, lime juice, chili and or additional seasonings. 

Taco Bowls

The taco predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico. There is anthropological evidence that the indigenous people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish.

Christine's Favorite Spices

1 tablespoon onion powder is roughly equivalent to medium size onion.

Garlic powder is used in many dishes for flavor. If I don't have fresh garlic I'll use garlic powder or minced garlic.

Garlic and herb is good for many dishes.

Season salt is used on chicken and fries. 

Paprika has great flavor and adds color to foods.

Parsley is a herb used in cooking and garnish.

Italian seasoning couldn't live without it. It's American blend of herbs, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme and other herbs.

Christine
