Taco Thursday

Here is what usually happens to us as we near mid - week . Our fridge is stuffed with left overs and i am desperate to clear the same but also avoid wastage as much as possible . It is also this time of the week , when i curse myself the most over my self inflicted ' variety disorder ' . With this type of disorder , i am unable to eat the same preparation more than two times , no matter how good it may be . To combat my sense of guilt and being the self declared ingenious cook of the household , I bear the responsibility to re-think and re-engineer these leftovers into something better and interesting . This recipe of the Taco Thursday was one such re- engineer masterpiece.
