Tuesday's Tacos

Tuesday was my favorite lunch day when I was in elementary school. Taco shells filled with meat, tomatoes, lettuce, and generously topped with taco sauce. I usually would crush it all up and eat it with a fork- there was nothing pretty about it; I never came home clean on Tuesdays, and I don't remember having any regrets about getting dirty. These tacos remind of my hearty Tuesdays as a kid, and are an exciting spin on tacos in general. They'd be great with a cold beer, or some fresh lemonade, and although its not the most sophisticated dinner- it's always nice letting our guards down for something this tasty and hearty.
