One of the best things about moving to Texas was that my family got introduced to a fun food called tacos. Not only was it fun but it was very inexpensive. I had several little mouths to feed and there was a restaurant that was really close to the apartments where we lived in Houston, Texas. They sold 10 tacos for a dollar. That was back in 1987. Today’s prices you could probably get 2 tacos for a dollar. No matter. It’s still a bargain!

I thought there was only one way to enjoy tacos. The crispy taco shell with a ground beef filling, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa. But as time passed, I soon learned that there were lots of different ways to eat tacos. There are crunchy tacos and there are soft tacos. There is: Taco pizza. Taco salad. Taco soup. Taco Stromboli. Then there are fish tacos, shrimp tacos, chicken tacos, veggie tacos, etc. Also, different cultures have their versions of a taco. (See links below.) And for Game Day, people get really creative! It’s all good!
