I had the red flap surgery January 3 2023. 12 hour surgery. Gruesome but it worked which I’m grateful for. I’m dealing now with radiation damage in jaw and my inability to swallow is worse. I’m doing swallow therapy and purée my food. Hard work but I want a taco hahaha
Thank you for responding.

suzannekay753m i understand the wanting a taco with all the problems that go along with our journey. so one day i thought well, i willput in some taco seasoning in the food processor chic peas. so the taste was there but of course not the "crunch". also, it might make you cough more too as i did, so i weakened it down with some applesauce. wishing you the best. i will keep you in my prayers. lilyann
