For the money it costs to buy fast food, you could buy a weeks worth of groceries and make your own.

Tasty Tacos

1 tbsp ground pure red chile, hot
1/2 tsp ground Mexican oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
salt to taste
8 taco shells, warmed
1 small onion, chopped
2-1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 tomato, chopped
1-1/2 cups grated cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey jack
? Salsa


In a large skillet, cook the meat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring to break up the meat. Stir in the chiles, oregano, cumin, garlic, and salt. Cook, stirring for a minute or two longer to allow the flavors to develop. Drain off any fat. Spoon the meat mixture into the taco shells. Top each taco with the onion, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Spoon salsa over the top.

But who has the time to cook like that not to mention how lazy most of us are..

There's hardly any cooking involved. All you do is brown some ground beef and add a few chopped up veggies & onions.
The rest of the stuff is garnish so you just cut up a bunch of lettuce and peppers and cheese and sprinkle it on.

There's even a kewl taco tray you can buy that holds them in place with compartments for the garnishes.

Cooking stuff is easy. I wrote a Hypercard program about 10 years ago with about 3000 recipes in it if anybody has a Mac to use it on. All ya need is Hypercard Player, free from any freeware site.

Nah... cooking is a breeze. I do it all the time... I also eat all the time. However eating is easier than cooking IMO. ;)

Tonight I am making bbq chicken on the grill with homemade bbq sauce and topped with bacon and cheddar cheese, then mashed potatoes with a hot sour cream and garlic sauce, and to continue the bacon theme... green beans with bacon.

Best whole chicken recipe I ever tried was "Simon and Garfunkel chicken".
It's called that because of the song about herbs... and it really is awesome...

After typing out 3000 recipes, I found that most of them started out with pretty much the same basic ingredients.
Oil in a pan, fry onions until transluscent, add freshly ground pepper and garlic.... the the rest of the stuff.

Cooking's great !! One of life's great pleasures !

Ah, but you see this recipe is just spectacularly different from everything else.
First you put oil in a pan, then fry onions until transluscent, add freshly ground pepper and garlic...
