Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Empty the beans in to a small pot set to low heat and cover until service. Stir a couple times as they warm through.
Prepare the Old El Paso rice according to package directions.
ASSEMBLY - Get your hard shells set up in a taco holder if you have on available. Start by spooning some of the cooked rice in to the bottom of each shell, followed by a scoop of your Mexican beans. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and a spoon of green salsa. Sprinkle some diced onions followed by some shredded cabbage, shredduce, diced toms, a drizzle of Perinaise, a slice of jalapeno, and finish with pea shoots. ENJOY!
Any remaining hot components can be packed up in airtight container in the fridge for 4 days.

Notes

You will definitely have some hot components left. If you're able to find a package of hard shell tacos with more than 12, you could probably serve up 15 tacos.
The garnishes are all recommendations. Top these simple tacos with any assortment of your favourite toppings / garnishes.
