Time for Tacos

Cooking Durham

Monday and I got along just fine today. I’ve got that feeling that something exciting is about to happen because Christmas break is right around the corner. I’m so pumped for some time off! I’m also dreaming of good food, and my brain is full of so many ridiculous recipe ideas for holiday treats. How will I ever narrow it down?

In the meantime, I’m eating chickpea tacos. Easy. I don’t think I’ve had the hard shells since I was in high school. My mom always used them for taco night.

I topped these babies with TJ’s corn relish, cheese, and avocado. I would have really liked a margarita too. Or maybe a view of the Pacific. Christmas in Cabo? Some day.

You guys are quiet out there. The calm before the holiday storm?

    Oh sister, we are SO on the same page this week – I’m making the Peas’ Chickpea Tacos tomorrow night! Love the corn idea – will probably have to involve that. I already have the avocado thing on lockdown.

    I cannot tell you how gorgeous and delicious your tacos look on the shiny computer in the tutoring center, even at eight in the morning.

    Yum, those look so yummy! I like how pieces inevitably crack off with hard tacos, so you’re left with chips at the end as well 🙂

    It’s been quiet in my part of the blog world as well…not sure why!

      I love that too, but I also just ate extra chips on the side:) TJ’s makes sweet potato corn chips now!
