Taco Tuesday has become one of our favorite traditions at our house! I love it because I don’t have to decide what to cook on Tuesdays, and the kids look forward to it because they love tacos and they are able to customize it to their own tastes. Finally, something the whole family enjoys!
When I took the October Unprocessed challenge this year, I discovered a taco seasoning recipe that my whole family loves. I love it because it costs less than buying the seasoning packets, it is very quick and easy to make, and I know the exact ingredients that are going into it. If you’re trying to avoid bread, this is just as delicious served on top of rice.
