Cinco de Mayo

Last night for Cinco de Mayo we went to out apartment community center for a "Taco Feed". We figured, Hey free meal, and we all like tacos. This is what they gave us: You could choose either Fritos or Doritos. They were lunch size chip bags. The ladies would crush up your bag of chips, cut open one side of it and then spoon in meat and cheese and lettuce. Then you could add your own sour cream, tomatoes, salsa, etc. They also had a crock pot of home made mac and cheese. For dessert there was a yummy white cake with a white frosting, caramel and strawberries.
Mike and I thought it was good, but the kids didn't get the idea of eating out of a bag. We dumped their's out onto a plate, and still they were not impressed. The mac and cheese was not bright orange like the fake stuff we eat, so they didn't want that either. I finally convinced them to eat it by offering them more cake if they ate their taco bag.
Anyway, it was just an interesting and easy way to make a taco salad. And it was good. Did anyone else have Mexican for the occassion??

We didn't do anything. But I love the idea of eating out of a bag!
