In less than a minute, taco night can be saved if you have tortillas on hard. Take an empty microwave-safe glass cup and fold a soft tortilla in half and place in the microwave for 30 seconds.

No matter what kind of tacos you grew up eating, two of the best things about tacos are that they're really family friendly (everyone can top them up how they please) and they don't take ages to make.
