Taco Night Saved and Made Better

So I bought these Shells from Ortega to have Taco Night at home. I love Taco Night and like to do it myself instead of paying Taco Bell or going out. At least I know exactly what kind of meat I am using, etc.

So when I opened the box I was very upset because my shells were all broken.

I had some soft taco shell so I was going to have to have soft tacos instead. But I really was craving crispy tacos. So I took the broken pieces of the taco shell and put them on top of the soft shell.

Then I dressed up my taco with my regular ingredients.

It was awesome. Better then a normal taco. I have seen something like this on Taco Bell's menu before but always said who would want to do this. Well add me to the list. I might do this for now on.

So the lesson we learn here is sometimes think outside of the box and when you think something is ruined it might not be.

The Rise of Downtown Tucson

Once upon a time in the city of Tucson if you were to walk down the streets this is what it would feel like. No one was around. It was a ghost town, well worse then that at least ghost towns have tourists.

Sure Tucson had tourist, about once a year at least they would come to our great city for the Gem Show. I know, I know... El Tour de Tucson. Yes they would come for that as well.

But on a regular weekend you can go around downtown and it would be empty.

But then something changed. What changed, I really don't know. Some might say the Over priced, Under Regulated Rio Nuevo worked. I highly doubt that. 

Businesses just started opening downtown. First a few restaurants, then some more. A few breweries, then some housing came in. 

I have gone to some places downtown and will review a few of them and review a few more soon, so Downtown has risen and is a happening place now. Join the Tucson Food Guy and let's discover downtown together over the next few weeks.
