Vegetarian tacos

When I was little I didn't eat any meat.. and living in Texas- that was just unheard of. My family tried everything to get me to eat meat. I was that little kid that would be eating a salad instead of a regular kids meal or any meal if that. When I was little I didn't want ot eat to begin with and most of the time I still have to force myself to eat. If it wasn't for my dad and sister I'm pretty sure I would be a vegetarian and wouldn't have a problem with it but my family are big meat eaters and they think a meal isn't complete if it doesn't have meat in it.

That was until last night when I made tacos. I told my sister that it was just veg tacos and I wanted to try something different- she hesitated but finally agreed on trying it. They turned out really well, my sister loved them an went back for seconds! My mom and I was really surprised. After we ate I told Jamie(my sister) that she just had tofu and she freaked out but her face was priceless!

Here's the ingredients:

2 1/2 tsp minced Garlic 
1/4 Cup vegetable oil 
1/4 cup Salsa- mild
1 tsp cumin
