But it's not Tuesday

[953 nut 61,321]

Consider National Taco Day, October 4 every year, a concentrated and intensified version of the “Taco Tuesdays” many restaurants offer in a bid to bring in Happy Hour-like crowds. Come to think of it, to further whet your appetite for the subject, get this: the phrase “Taco Tuesday” was actually trademarked across the country in 1989 by a Wyoming-based fast-food chain called Taco John’s, except in New Jersey, where the trademark had already been claimed by Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar back in ‘82.

However, nobody needs to worry about the legality of what their dinner is called. On National Taco Day, we only need to grab some tortillas and stuff them with savory fillings, from the traditional carne asada, cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream, to more exotic gustatory delights like fish, chorizo, even tongue, to name only a few of the “meat component” alternatives. Even the word “stuff” is no accident; many believe that the word taco derives from the Spanish “ataco,” meaning “to stuff.”

Me gusta tacos de pollo. Hacerlos con chipolte y salsa verde, ye queso. Son deliciosos.

I like chicken tacos too. I make them with pickled onion, red hot salsa, and monterey jack cheese.

Years ago Kraft had a kit out to make them and they were delicious. Then they were discontinued, but my wife was able to figure out what all they used in the kit and make a very close reproduction.

Being from Kraft it was probably

No, it wasn't that. The stuff she figured out to replace the kit was Hidden Valley chipolte dressing, and green tomato salsa from Walmart.
