During the summer months, I get a bit obsessive about tacos and fresh toppings. Flour tortilla or corn tortilla. Shredded chicken, or shredded beef, or shredded pork.

And affordable too. I may purchase a nicer cut of roast for a holiday feast, but for everyday meals a round roast will do just fine. And my frugal cooking heart does a leap … [Read more...]
