This is a good idea. I feel like most of my recipes need help, some extra zing! that would make them more palatable.

Every week we have tacos comprised of wheat meat, some kind of grain, diced chili peppers, and Monterey Jack cheese wrapped in tortillas. After they're warmed up, we add guacamole, sour cream, salsa, whatever at the table. I find them so dull, I pile on the salsa. I may as well just save myself some effort and roll up salsa in a tortilla and be done with it.

Autumn, to make your tacos taste better, you might try adding some taco
seasoning to whatever you are replacing the meat with, and simmering it for a very short time in extra virgin olive oil. Ground beef adds very little flavor
to a taco. It simply acts as a vector for the flavoring added to it. So, add the
same flavoring to something else. You might want to try adding some hot pepper
to the mix.

Thanks, Tim, actually I do add taco seasoning to my Boca meat crumbles and they are much more flavorful than the wheat meat.

Yeah...either with the taco seasoning,
or as breakfast style, especially with
potatoes as Tim said, and cheese and
green onions...
if I were doing them with the taco seasoning,
I'd add a little fresh garlic and onions to the
oil before I added the eggs scrambled with the
taco seasoning...

I think that is highly probable. Not to mention different eras. I was in grade
school when I heard that President Kennedy was shot in Dallas. I remember that
day like it was yesterday.

You ought to talk to my father. He bakes some really good bread. He has been
baking as a hobby for years, and has never made the same kind of bread twice.

Not as spring matron anyway.
As the spring guard perhaps - to eliminate anything odd.

I don't know if this makes us matronly, but it does make life more fun. Wer, he
doesn't repeat the recipe because once it's been done, what is the point?

so you have never repeated anything you have done?
if, as I believe, you have then you already know what the point(s) is(are)...
