A Taco Shell is a shell for building a taco. It can be eaten plain, but its real use is as the base of a home made Taco. Meat, vegetables and sauces are added to it to make a full meal.
The shell keeps for about two weeks. It is a common find in Mexican restaurant kitchens and on grocery store shelves. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
A plain Taco Shell lowers hunger by 5. It holds 55 calories, with about 8 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fat. It weighs only 0.1.
On its own it is a small snack. It is far more useful as the start of a taco. A ready made Taco lowers hunger by 25, which shows how much the filling adds.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Recipes

Storage
A Taco Shell stays fresh for 15 days and is rotten by day 20. A fridge slows both counts. That gives plenty of time to gather the filling.
Locations
Taco Shells are a common find. Mexican restaurant kitchens always have some stored away and hold them on the counter about one time in four. Gigamart and grocery store shelves carry them about one time in four. General store shelves hold them a little less often.
House kitchens, survivor caches and grocery storage rooms turn them up now and then. Cafeteria kitchens are a rare find.
