National Taco Day

Today, October 4th, is National Taco Day. Anyone planning on celebrating? I'm debating on whether or not I should change my dinner plans.
It's "Smokin Gal", not "Smoking Al".

I was unaware but I just had tacos for lunch. I must have sensed a disturbance in the force.

I was just trying to decide on what to eat this evening. Leftover pork chops are in the fridge, but that doesn't sound too appetizing. Hmm, I do have refried beans, a fresh package of ground beef and the usual taco fixins. Now, do I buy some tortillas or make my own? Thanks for the suggestion! Been a while since I had tacos.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I have a handful of "National" days that I keep track of. This is not one of them. I will have to pass on this. Wimpin' out. I don't have the force sensors like @The Cen-Tex Smoker .Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Didn't cook these myself, but had very good "Mexican Street Tacos"...four different types. Did I say they were very good?

It may also be worth noting the words TACO CAT spelled backward are, TACO CAT. You're welcome!

My dinner plans for today involved pizza but when I found out about the holiday, I couldn't resist. I used leftover jerk oxtail from a previous cook, along with pan roasted garlic, caramelized onions and sauteed kumato tomatoes to make a Ragu sauce for Taco Norteños. Instead of topping the meat mix with Monterey Jack, I made a white cheddar-based queso. The tortillas were made from and cooked in rendered dry aged Japanese A5 Wagyu tallow. I've never encountered tortillas that smelled and tasted like these. This meal was like spicy oxtail tacos crossed with extra sharp cheesy nachos. Not pretty. Just greasy, cheesy, supremely beefy goodness.

I didn't realize it was national taco day but I did have tacos for dinner. If you're ever in Seal Beach in SoCal try El Burrito Jr good food, good service, reasonable prices, millions dollar view of the Pacific. If you want more upscale try Avila'a El Ranchito's.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

@smokingal Way to celebrate the holiday. An impressive cook and documentation, as always.

I have some leftover tri tip I am going to use for tacos today while watching CFB.
I also have some country ham I will work into the rotation.
