Step Three: Serve. Now, if you’re in my family, this is where things get interesting. Some of us do a taco salad, some do soft tacos, and the little people like to eat mini tacos made out of Tostitos Scoops.
But all of us need plenty of homemade salsa!
By the way, this is also an easy meal to take to a friend, whether it’s a new baby or illness in the family. When I take this meal to someone, I send the taco meat, a bag of lettuce, a bag of Scoops, soft tacos, a jar of salsa, shredded cheese, and other toppings (like tomatoes, black beans, corn), and let the individual family serve it up as they see fit.
And for you blender salsa-makers, do you know the blender-washing Pro Tip? Wherein you squirt a drop of dish soap in the blender, fill it up halfway with hot water, and then blend the soapy water till it’s frothy and clean. Then just rinse!
