I’ve felt stuck in a dinnertime rut lately. With a crazy busy school calendar and baseball season picking up steam, there hasn’t been a lot of time for playing around with new recipes to climb out of it, either.
Until one day last week when we had a free evening, and I decided to play around with a recipe for taquitos.
I used ingredients that we had on hand and started to combine them. Apparently it worked, because my husband called them “the best thing I’ve made in a long time.” For him, that’s a rather stunning endorsement, so you’re going to see these on the menu again – and probably some new varieties, too.
