MMmmm...My mom makes the best tacos. My mom makes us tacos on Christmas Eve or whenever she has the time to. This recipe probably comes from Mexico. Having tacos on Christmas Eve has become a family tradition. It comes from my moms side of the family. When she was young her family always had tamales and oyster stew on Christmas Eve. My mom can't make tamales, so we have tacos. No one in my family likes oyster stew! My mom grew up in Arizona so we eat a lot of Mexican food at our house. My mom was 16 years old when she learned how to make tacos. A Mexican lady named Tomasa, who helped her family after her mother died, taught her how to make tacos when my great grandfather was having friends and family over for a Mexican dinner. |
