Last night, I got to go to the Craftsman Experience in Chicago for the Instructables LIVE event and webcast.
I brought my electric motorcycle with me and was the first presenter for the show.
I also happened to be very hungary, as I had a four-hour drive to get there (Chicago traffic - ug!) and only finally arrived not long before the show started.
After my segment of the show was done, I quick grabbed some food. The event had a Qdoba taco bar, and dessert by Pinkberry ice cream. Somehow, the show kept calling me back on stage while my face was full of taco and guacamole..... but when I was done with that, it was time for some dessert.
That's when I realized that I had all the materials available to me to make a CHOCO-TACO!
At an event like this where I was surrounded by other people who were into building, designing, hacking, and modding, NOBODY else had already noticed how these foods could combine to form the ULTIMATE PARTY FOOD DESSERT!
Here's how I did it.

The first step in any project is knowing what it is you have to work with.
In this case, the Instructables LIVE event was sort of a social mixer with a TV show thrown right in the middle.
Food was provided - a taco bar and a dessert ice cream bar.
Looking through what was available at both, I noticed tortillas (soft flour variety), ice cream, and toppings.
Besides the actual ingredients for improvised desserts, you also have to keep in mind what might be needed for utensils, cookery, heat source, plates, etc.
In this case, there were plastic forks and spoons, paper napkins, and black foam plates. I also asked the Qdoba server if he had any extra (clean, unused) aluminum pans, which he did. I also took notice of the Sterno alcohol gel burners...
