Usually once a week we have Mexican night, sometimes it’s taco or burrito night, once in a while it’s loaded nacho, or enchilada night. When I was at the grocery last night I grabbed everything I need to make enchiladas later this week, and I think I’ll have enough left over soft taco shells to have soft tacos one night too.
