Santa Fe Tacos

Having 6 children, our life is busy..  I’m sure most parents can relate.

This is a typical 5:00 p.m. conversation…
Kids: What’s for dinner Mom?
Me: I don’t know! I just walked in the door.
Kids: I’m hungry. I’m really really hungry!!!

 

My kids LOVE tacos.. Some like all the toppings.. Some don’t.  I love tacos because it’s a quick meal to make.  In fifteen minutes, its done.  While the meat, onions & garlic are cooking, I chop the tomatoes & lettuce and set up a Taco Tray for the kids to make their own.  I love making a mini taco bar so everyone gets exactly what they want.

By adding the beans & corn it stretches out the meal to make more.

A taco bar is a fun way to allow yourself time to interact with your guests, rather than having to slave away in the kitchen during most of the party. Plus, a taco bar party cuts the preparation time in half, since a taco bar party allows guests to build their own tacos. Your guest will have a fun time building their TaylorMade Taco.
