I was planning to have an easy dinner of veggie soft tacos. I wanted to use up some stuff from my freezer. I wanted to use up some adzuki beans, because they had been in the freezer since November. After I heated them up and mashed them up a bit to make oil free "refried" beans, I realized I needed a few more beans. I heated up a container of frozen pinto beans and added them to the adzuki beans. I never thought about using more than one variety of beans for refried beans, but I really liked them a lot. I will purposefully do this in the future.
I had planned to make some guacamole with the four small avocados on my
counter top. Well, I have been having a terrible time getting good avocados this year. When I cut into the avocados, two of the four were unusable. I get so discouraged paying for avocados and then throwing them away. I buy them while they are still hard and let them ripen on my counter top. Backup plan was to dice the two small avocados which were okay and squeeze lime juice over them. Not as good as guacamole, but still very good.
Overall, the tacos turned out very well. I forgot to chop up the lettuce and add it, which would have been some nice crunch. Sometimes when I make something like this, a no recipe meal, I will jot down the items I want to include. That really helps me a lot, because I inevitably get caught up in the preparation and forget an item or two.
