Street Tacos
This hearty filling can be used for virtually anything when you want to substitute meat. This time, we made street tacos! I have only used a food processor for this, so I'm not sure if a blender would do. If you try it, let me know how it goes. This is my mom's completely own recipe! Enjoy; it's a keeper!
