Just sent the boss for Taco Bell!
I've had this discussion with my 23 year old daughter. She seems to think that her tacos are great and that home cooked tacos are way better than TB. She is wrong of course. And I am usually the one who gets the grocery bill for like $30 in Mexican making dinner supplies when she visits. (has to make burritos with sauce and a years supply of cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, Enchilada sauce, taco sauce, taco seasoning, ground beef and chicken, wraps (the expensive kind), olives, jalapenos, rice, beans, taco shells, guacamole, etc.
I'm not opposed to home made tacos but I'm missing the frugal part. Perhaps if I hand make and deep fry the tacos (like they do fresh at TB) I could match the price but then I would need to buy a fry daddy and $3 in oil to fill it.
I'm always a little suspect when one of my adult kids says they make great this or that. And can you even buy "Cool Ranch" taco shells at the store.
I do occasionally make beans, rice, ground beef and taco chips. Not a bad price for that.
MMMM! just finished the Taco Bell Cool Ranch tacos. Well worth the 4 bucks. (can't pack a taco in the lunch pale you know)
