Surprise Taco

Tacos have really become a super favorite meal in the Gant household.  I’ve expanded the repetoire I knew as a child, and being that we live in Texas, our family now embraces black beans, guacamole (well, Drew does), corn & bell peppers.  We love this meal so much we had it for Christmas Eve.  Yum.  (Jasper loves tomatoes.  He rejects tomato sauce, but he’ll eat fresh cut tomatoes like their going out of style.  I currently have three tomato plants growing on the deck to feed this need he has.)

Recently Drew has started letting Jasper make him a surprise taco.  He’ll leave the room and let Jasper make up a taco of whatever he wants.  The last time he did this, Jasper added crushed tortilla chips to the taco.  It was a hit!  Drew is a super good sport about all things culinary, so he’ll eat without inhibition and make Jasper feel like he’s on the top of the world for creating such a wonderful taco.  I captured our latest surprise taco event in early April.

Jasper loved this so much he actually let Drew make him a surprise taco.  He loved it, until the last bite which included guacamole.  Jasper didn’t like that there was guac in the taco (Drew told him before his last bite), but nevertheless he ate it.  That is a major victory for this kid, and we were very proud of him.

Benj will decidedly eat taco seasoned-ground turkey, cous cous, black beans and corn until the cows come home.  Not much else is consumed, but every once in a while he’ll eat tomatoes.
