ROAD GYPSIES MEAT & CABBAGE TACO ROLL-UPS; Coalinga-CA

Road Gypsies Taco Roll-ups

Burrito rolled taco's are a satisfying full-course meal, wrapped in thin fry bread - and they are so easy to make 👍

We make our taco's with cabbage instead of lettuce, because we don't eat enough of lettuce, often enough to justify buying it. We do, however, both like cabbage 😋 & use a lot of that. Cabbage is always on hand & stores well in our RV 'fridge.

These rolled tacos can actually be filled with and meat & veggie combo imaginable 🤔 - so, get creative 👨‍🍳 and let your imagination flow from kitchen to table 👏

For tonight's supper, I minced the veggies fairly small, so they would roll easier in the tortilla wrap. I like the little portable, pull-string veggie chopper, Holland bought sometime last year; it's easy to store in our small kitchen, and it's cordless usefulness suits our chosen way of life, well.

These tacos are unconventional … but, they are a tasty delight 😁
