November Food Blog Tonight, my mom made tacos for dinner. I was very happy because my mom makes the best tacos, and I always get excited when she makes them. To make them she cooks ground beef in a frying pan over low heat until it's browned. Then, she adds chili powder and red pepper flakes. After that, she stirs in a flavor mix powder and finishes cooking the meat. Once the meat has finished cooking it is put onto a soft tortilla roll or hard shell, depending on your preference. The tacos are then served with grated cheese, sour cream, and salsa. I prefer my taco in a hard shell, but tonight we only had the soft tortilla wraps, so I had to settle. I took my tacos to the dinner table, folded them up, and took a bite. Regardless of the type of tortilla that first bite was amazing. I was so hungry by the time we ate dinner and that first bite of taco made me incredibly happy. The first thing I could taste was the spicy meat, it was so spicy that it made my gums tingle a little bit. Some people don't like their food that spicy but I enjoy spicy food a lot. One the taste of the meat hit me I started to taste the cheese on top of it which helped balance out the spiciness a little bit. After that I noticed the salsa. The salsa was mild, so it didn't affect the spiciness of the tacos; it was just there to add more flavor. The salsa helped add to the complexity of the flavor and give it another layer. After the salsa I really started to notice the sour cream. The cool sour cream helped in cooling down the spicy meat of the taco, and added a rich creamy flavor to it. Once I had finished my food the after taste was mostly of the spicy meat, that's the flavor that was most pronounced and hung around in my mouth for the longest amount of time. So, I would say that dinner tonight was a success considering it was one of my favorite foods that my mom makes, and I was so hungry once we started eating dinner that the tacos were just like a gift from God.
