Tacos with Ted

I made tacos from scratch at the Chow Bella Kids cooking camp today.

The first thing we did was split up into two groups. My team did the seasoning for a roast beef or something and then we put all those spices in a bowl.

Just so you know, they smelled gross.

Then we did the tortillas and put them together and that is the story of how I made tacos from scratch.

I like them. Homemade tacos are the greatest!
