The Good Wife

Tonight I was the good wife.  This is Mr. Magnificent, and he's a pretty happy camper right now.  Reason being, he's sitting in front of a plate of tacos...his favorite food in the world. I asked him last night before I headed to the grocery store what he wanted for supper tonight and without hesitation he replied "tacos!"

 

 

We don't go for healthy tacos around here.  I mean if you're going to eat tacos, just go all out. After all we may get blown away by a hurricane, wiped out by a tornado,  flooded by torrential rain fall, or maybe even fall through the face of the earth from a major earthquake.  We ARE sitting on the New Madrid fault.....and if life is that unpredictable, I want to go out eating good greasy tacos.  So go out and buy you some of these........

 

and fry them! (gasp)

 

It's really important that you go with this brand in my opinion.  They are the best.  Unless you're Betty Crocker and make your own, which I highly doubt because I'm sure most of you are working like I am.  Pour some oil in a skillet or on a griddle and let it get pretty hot before you throw your tortilla on there. Now, I should insert here "pretty hot" doesn't mean grease is popping all over the stove making a HUGE mess..(like Mr. Magnificent does) sssh!  The reason I like the griddle is because you can cook more than one at a time and I'm not a patient person so that works best for me.  Don't over cook them or they will get too hard!

Prior to the whole tortilla cooking escapade you should brown some ground beef.  Or ground deer if you live in my house...and pay attention, if you don't get anything else from this cooking post, get this.............................................................................................................................................                                                                        

 

YOU MUST BUY THIS SEASONING!

You can buy some other generic taco seasoning if you think you know best, but I'm telling you your tacos are just going to be "okay."  Old El Paso pushes them up to a whole new level...........Trust me.  I'm not getting paid to advertise for them either..  Just buy the stuff and follow the directions.  Basically one envelope per pound of ground (whatever) and 2/3 cup of water...............I think.

 

 

Then dress them babies up with your favorite toppings. 

 

             Guacamole would have made my life complete tonight but I didn't have any (sigh)

 

 

 

 

But this was sufficient to make my man happy!  He doesn't like guacamole anyway....

If you follow these directions to the letter...............and let's face it folks...this isn't rocket science, or some recipe from Bon Appetit.  (This is just simple, good, down home cooking)

 

 

        Then this may possibly happen at your house..........

I'm not making any promises but as easy as it is,what do you have to lose?

 

 

 

 

I always love when I can make him happy.
