Allowing people to mix and match their own taco toppings is always a great idea for kids!

One genius put his hard taco in his soft tortilla to maximize crunch and minimize shattered taco mess. That’s a pro move right there!

INGREDIENTS

SERVES 10 – 12

  • 4 lb (2 kg) navel pastrami

  • 12 soft corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 3 avocados sliced

 

Coleslaw

Tomato Salsa
        • 3 cups diced tomatoes

1 red onion finely diced 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro chopped 1 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt¼ tsp black pepper
