Great idea!

I made these for our Vacation Bible School fundraiser lunch, which had a "Fiesta!" Mexican theme. Everyone went crazy over them! Great idea and easy to make..

Taco bar

This was very good and so much fun for my kids. I set it up sort of like a taco bar so they could choose their own toppings. We had a blast!!.
