mushrooms drives this basket at $6.00, 37% of the total. The next biggest lines are corn tortillas ($2.69) and garlic ($2.49). $12.79 of the basket - 80% - is package remainder: food you buy because stores sell packages and recipes call for amounts. It does not vanish, it sits in your kitchen for the next meal.

These vegetable filled corn tortilla tacos get a kick from diced jalapeno peppers and garlic. Serve these as a side dish or enjoy as a snack.
