Yo Quiero Tacos

The other day, I had a big craving for tacos. So the past week I have been plotting the event of making tacos. The big trouble is that it is really hard to find tortillas here in our city. So I bit the bullet, and made my first batch of tortillas ever.

Here is the collection of what goes into making a taco here:

It was quite a bit of trouble that I made some extra tortillas for later this week.

After making some tacos, we also made some burritos. Honestly, by the time the tacos and burritos were made, we were all so hungry that everything tasted and reminded me of home. These burritos took me back to 1999 when I met my first Baja Fresh chicken burrito. Yum!

By the way, we don't always have successful attempts at cooking. We just don't post the pictures of food that failed. Haha. The last few days we were making kimchi, and it looked great, so we could have taken a picture. But it tasted super disgusting; super sour and too salty. Waah! I guess even though everyone thinks we look Korean, by failing at making kimchi, we still fail the Korean-ness test.

Those look pretty good! Impressive, and how neat that you're being so creative when you have free time.

Bethany,the tacos looked so yummy I almost could taste them-delicious... and also compliment to the photographer.He took great pictures, (no photo shop?!) It is just hilarious to see Cobby's birthday wishes on the huge bus which did fool his father...

Are you sure that is cheddar cheese? I thought it's suppose to be yellow....even given my color deficientcy, I can tell that's not yellow.

I live almost across the street from Korean market. I wonder how a jar of Kimchi will do with UPS?
