Mexican Taco Mac & Cheese

Cheesy Awesomeness!

It’s no secret that I love Mac & Cheese. Not the kind you buy in a box but the gourmet variety of the popular boxed dinner. I will try any gourmet mac & cheese once. Some are better than others and this is one of them. This Mac & Cheese combines the best of both worlds. Mexican flavors with Mac & Cheese.

My father cried when I said I wanted to be a chef.
