you know the desert island game, right? where you pick one food that you could live on forever if you were stranded on a desert island? well, tacos are my desert island food. i know that’s cheating a little bit, because there are so many taco ingredients. but how could i ever decide between beans, tortillas, avocado, or salsa?
