I think that's completely reasonable. I would check with your CW. But ours thought it was perfectly fine that we insisted my son eat something other than Chef Boy Ar Dee. We usually give him 5-10 veto foods, which are foods he DOES NOT have to eat, ever (such as mushrooms, avacadoes, and cheese souffle). He can't change these before a meal. (So he can't veto something I'm in the process of making.

Also, with him, I got tired of the dinnertime drama, so I told him if he didn't want to eat it, fine. We would discuss it when everyone else was done eating, the dishes were done and the table was cleared. So if he even wanted to suggest an option, he had to wait like an hour. Usually he'd give up after 10 minutes and just eat the stupid food I'd made for dinner.

Also I would limit the taco thing the following way: after the first one or two, kiddo either needs to eat some veggies before another meat and cheese taco, or kiddo needs to put veggies on the taco. Or kiddo can be done with the tacos and may be excused.
