Tacos
Tacos are a great option for a family meal round the table, you can have all the cooked ingredients laid out on the table and everyone can go at it as they wish.
Its also a good interactive meal and a good cheat if you’re like me and you can’t roll a wrap to save your life, you can have them do it themselves!
Delis groceries store has made it superrr easy with this tacos pack, it literally has most of the dry ingredients you need to put a Taco meal together. And right round the corner is their fridge for your meats and veg.
nothing wrong with a little cooking cheat ...
The taco sauce and seasoning is a life saver because I remember about a year about going around Lagos looking for taco seasoning for this Taco Spaghetti I made, so if you want to make your own seasoning check that out.
​
There are a few places in Lagos that do quite good tacos but like I always say no one can feed you like you can feed yourself, I don't really like a busy taco so miss me with the tomatoes and lettuce etc., just sweet meat !
Anyhooo less talking more cooking and more doing.
