Yummy to our tummys

For those taco craving days, Yummy loaded Tacos using homemade filling and Old El Paso Taco shells. I have also shared ingredients for homemade taco seasoning at the bottom of the recipe.

Okay so I recently saw the forks over knives documentary and I've been motivated to change the way I eat. I absolutely love meat and giving it up is a challenge so I've decided to eat meat sparingly and use it as flavouring and eat more whole plant foods. I have one of Dr. Campbell's books: Whole: Rethinking the science of nutrition and his sons book the Campbell plan. I plan on reading the china study next. So here it goes.

I use to live in Tulsa, Oklahoma and worked at Taco Bueno and the recipe sort of stuck with me by adding the water while the meat is cooking.

I can also and though this can be divided and frozen, I often don't have enough freezer space. This can be used for casseroles, chili, tamales, etc

I like to buy a 3lb log of cheap ground beef and use it for tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, taco salads and even just throw it into some pasta. Feeds me for days! Pico de Gallo is important for anything you make with this. (Oooo now I’m gonna post a Pico recipe) Reheat the meat and add crushed nacho chips, shredded lettuce, pico, salsa, shredded cheese and sour cream for taco salad, put the meat on tortillas with your taco fixins, add it to a flat tortilla with cheese and top with a tortilla for quesadillas, make a quesadilla and top THAT with cheese and pico for a “Mexican pizza”, throw it into a large tortilla with the fixins of your choice for a burrito... or just make some pasta and toss some in there with a little salsa verde-—- perfection. Taco Bell makes 57 things with 8 ingredients... why can’t we!?

Meatloaf is such a diverse dish & there are a million ways to make it. This one is pretty good.
