Tacos

Tonight it's gonna be tacos. I'll be putting together some guacamole, and chopping up some lettuce. We like the high fiber soft tacos starting with a base of refried beans to act as the "glue". Pretty much improvised from there. I like lots of lettuce on mine. Guacamole recipes are plentiful, but on ones that call for onion, I like to cut the amount required in half, and substitute shallots. Shallots have a milder flavor than onion, and my main pet peeve for Guac is not to have too many elements fighting each other. If im doing say, 4 avacodoes, i'll usually use 2 tablespoons of shallot, 2 cloves of garlic, and one whole juiced lemon or lime. This is all arbitrary. Taste as you go is okay, but always use a clean spoon. You can always add, but you can't take away. Salt and pepper of course.
