You read that correctly, freaking-SPAM-tacos. My dad and I actually made these together. He did all the prep work and all I had to do was fry it and assemble. Such a great sous chef! I can always depend on my dad to be game for fun/kid-like foods, movies and activities.

Not that these SPAM tacos are hard to make by yourself. Literally all you need to do is cube the SPAM, fry it up, and assemble tacos with mashed avocado, cilantro, onion, and queso fresco. The first time I made these SPAM tacos, I mixed black beans and corn into the SPAM and topped them with diced tomatoes and avocado.

Oddly enough I didn’t ever appreciate SPAM as a child but now that my taste buds have been refined I find it to be most acceptable. Especially when fried and stuffed in a crispy taco shell along with you favorite toppings. Maybe squeeze some lime on top. What could possibly be wrong about that?
