So most of us all know how to make tacos. This is just my take on them. I add a few specific products to add flavor and cut fat and calories. My family loves them and I was STARVING when I made them tonight!
Oh...and MY tacos are SELF SERVE!!! :)

Heat up your can of refried beans in a small pot on medium heat. Add jalapeno, jalapeno juice and cilantro to the beans and stir. Reduce heat to low until ready to serve.
TIP: If you open one side of the can...and make a small hole on the other side...your beans will slide right out!
Start chopping your lettuce, onion and tomato. Grate your cheese and set up your taco bar.
You can TOTALLY tell that not many members of my family like tomatoes and onions!
Heat up your tortillas if you like them like that. Best done with a moist paper towel over the top of them on a plate in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
THESE JALAPENO CILANTRO FLAVORED TORTILLAS ARE AWESOME! LOW FAT AND CALORIE TOO!
Compile your preference of a PERFECT taco and you are done! Eat and enjoy! I know I did!
Goodnight and see you tomorrow! Be sure to let me know how YOURS turned out!
We do this all the time too! Turkey is perfect for us and it's healthier, so we like it. It's fun to make your own and top them however you want.
