Tacos for Two

The Mission: Make a taco dinner with all the fixing for two people. The catch: There can be no leftovers! This was the situation I found myself in just prior to our trip to Wisconsin. I had leftover red beans from Monday night's dinner and had a hankering for tacos. But the idea that half a tomato, half a bag of shredded cheese, three quarters of a head of lettuce and seven-eighths of a red onion would be rotting in my fridge while we were out, just bugged me. The solution?

Harris Teeter's excellent salad bar! For less than $5 I got just the right amount of fixin's for a taco dinner.

Add a little bit of elbow grease and voila! Instant taco toppings!
