One problem I have with tacos is that I eat them too fast! I have the taco cradled in my hand and it is impossible to put down without the insides falling apart. My open-face taco is like a tostada but without the fried tortilla. My tortilla is charred over a burner on my stovetop and then I just pile all the fixings on top and around it.

Tonight’s taco has shrimp, spicy black beans, cabbage, mango, salsa, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. I am slowed down by using a knife and fork. I feel much more satisfied with my non-traditional taco.
