Offers a bunch of chopped vegetables – cilantro, onions, chopped lettuce, tomatoes and avocado or avocado sauce. Place tortillas, flour tortillas or some toast crispy taco shells. Add some chopped cheese or Queso cotija. Then add the toast tortilla slices, Mexican riceand black beans or beans.

Normally, I make rice and beans, but there are some good store buying options. Then, let everyone build their own taco toppings.
