I eat tacos more than any other dinner food. I always start with a homemade pot of flavorful beans (usually red and black together), then add diced bell peppers to them after they are cooked. For assembly I use cilantro, plain yogurt instead of sour cream, homemade salsa, sliced jalapenos and of course cheese (cheddar/jack), which I usually melt right on the tortilla. I just discovered a great corn/flour tortilla called Mission Artisan, but will eat straight corn or whole wheat (always soft tortillas). I like the corn better but the whole wheat is more convenient.
I will add just about any leftover veggies to the beans, the last time was roasted eggplant cubes. If I don't have any fresh cilantro I will lightly saute some cabbage with garlic and add some dried cilantro or just chop up some lettuce. Guacamole is my favorite optional add-on, and if I'm in the mood I will add some real hot sauce like Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia).
The following night I will make some meat, either a family pack of steak or some ground buffalo but occasionally a roasted chicken or baked salmon, and add the leftovers to the beans for... more tacos!
