Relaxed.
That's how I'm feeling right now. We are currently vacationing at the beach. We've had some delicious food shared with wonderful company. The kids have playmates and it's like a never ending sleepover with 3 kids in the same room each night. We've been to the beach each morning and then have found other touristy things to do in the afternoon. Today I took a nice long walk on the beach with my oldest and relished the simple act of walking hand in hand with my little man who is growing up way too fast.
Tonight we decided on family taco night and I decided shake things up with my own Shrimp and avocado combination. Inspired by the atmosphere and my love for both these foods, the end result was my own little slice of heaven.
Shrimp & Avocado Tacos
Layer in this order
Flour Tortillas (small)
Refried Beans (1 tbsp per taco)
Sredded lettuce (1/4 c. per taco)
Shredded cheddar cheese (1 tsp per taco)
Diced tomatoes (1 tsp per taco)
Diced White Onion (1 tsp per taco)
Shrimp (31-4o ct, 4 per taco)We steamed our shrimp but any preparation would work.
Sliced Avocado (2 slices per taco)
You can top with any favorites like sour cream, salsa, fresh cilantro or whatever you like.
Avocados are rich in nutrients and contain more than 20 different vitamins per serving. They are said to help prevent such diseases as breast cancer and strokes and have also proven to inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. The best part is...they are really yummy on top of all that.
TheAmazingAvocado.com is currently taking recipes for their Big Hit contest. 8 Avocado League Finalists will be announced on September 1st with their own profiles and, more importantly, their amazing recipes. I encourage you to check it out and have your voice heard by voting.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Mexican Hass Avocado Importers Association. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Num!
They were really good.
They look yummy. I'm not big on shrimp but a good avocado....goes with anything in my book. Glad you're having such a nice vacation. Forgot to ask why you go on vacation this time of year when the kids are already in school? Or do they go back that much later there?

Dang this Disqus, I have to type everything in now, you never did say why you switched from blogger. It sure slows down the process. I have to even type my name in, before more was automatic. I really am curious
We were on Vacation August 21-28 and the kids start school September 7. We get better rates at the end of the season:)
I wanted a better way to respond to commenters. If you sign up through disqus it should remember you. Or log in through FB or Twitter. I'm still deciding if it's too much of a pain but I really like the reply feature.
