Story

I like everything about tacos except the mess eating them. We always end up eating the crumbled tacos and fillings off the plate anyway, so why not just start off eating them with a fork!?
You can add any taco stuff you want in this recipe, but we pretty much stick to these basic ingredients. However, you may want to top your salad with a dollop of sour cream and some green onion tops or chives just for a bit more flavor and color.
