We don't have a Mexican restaurant in Concord. There was one for a while in West Concord, but that place is gone. And there's that Tex-Mex place in Lincoln, but that's kind of fancy. This recipe is good to eat at any regular dinner and is fast and easy, which is good when you're hungry. My brother and I can make it ourselves. I really like to eat it when I get home from practice and I'm TOTALLY STARVING!
This is a recipe my mom made up. She says it's not really an invention. More an accident because she had to use up leftovers. But we like it.
Soft Tacos and Jamacian Rice
1 package soft tacosGet all the vegetables and cheese ready to put on the tacos. Heat a few tacos in the microwave or however you like to heat them. Down the center of a taco add some rice, cheese, veggies, salsa. Roll up and eat. If you stuff the tacos too full, they will leak and you'll be a mess. But it will be fun.
1 package Fantastic Foods' Jamaican Black Beans and Brown Rice (5.6 oz), made like the package says (you probably won't use it all, so warmed up leftovers are ok, too)
1 cup grated cheddar, monterey jack, or other cheese
1/2 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 tomato, diced
your favorite salsa
