A new Taco Tuesday Recipe and a Book Review

Pizza and Tacos collide in this delicious and easy baked taco recipe.  Perfect for dinner on a Taco Tuesday.

Yesterday I shared a book review of Twenty Years Later by Charlie Donlea.  I enjoyed that book very much.  So much, in fact, that I ordered another of his novels to read immediately upon finishing.

Don't Believe It is also a mystery thriller.  It is very similar to the first Donlea novel that I read.  Too similar.  I felt like I was reading the same story with some very minor changes.  Same storyline, another female protagonist trying to claw her way to the top, another down on his luck retired detective, another person alleging they were wrongly convicted of murder and a similar surprise twist at the end.

I didn't enjoy this novel as much as the first but perhaps if I had read it first I would have enjoyed this one more.  Not sure.  

At any rate it did give me an opportunity to share this taco recipe with you as the protagonist makes a quick stop at a Taco Truck for dinner one night.  

I enjoy making these Tacos to serve up as a change to our Taco Tuesday menus.  They are always a huge hit with the Teen and her friends.
