Let's taco 'bout it

Northwest Arizona has some of the best Mexican restaurants and I could eat at them several times a week. My roommate doesn't share my love of the yummy eats and the restaurants don't do burgers or any of the usual American fare available at Mexican restaurants back in Michigan where we used to live. This Paper Smooches stamp set inspired me to give him a bit of a teasing, alas I am still waiting for my big plate of tacos, burritos, guacamole and beans.

    Nice touch using the red jewels for the tomato. I don't think I would have thought of that. Thank you for joining FCCB for the challenge this week. Faith

    Thank you, Heather. Every time he asks me what's for dinner I hand it to him. I guess that I'm going to have to make my own version of tacos, I use Doritos instead of taco shells.
