This easy recipe is something I make at least once a month for our family. We love Mexican food, and eat some variation of the more traditional dishes throughout the month.
There are so many kid friendly Mexican dishes, (most likely attributed to the cheeses) my minions even enjoy the spiciness of the food!
This is a basic taco recipe I use on those time constrained weekday nights when I need to quickly throw something together.
The kids love it, the adults love it, it’s easy, and nutritious. Who doesn’t love tacos?!

Me too Jocelyn, lol! Thank you!
All of your pictures look so yummy! We’ve actually had a Mexican inspired dish yesterday, and my family loved it! I may bite the bullet and try this as well. Simple is always best. Just a quick question of for you–if you were going to use corn tortilla, how would you prep it?

Corn tortillas tend to be tougher and not as soft as flour tortillas but that’s no problem, just heat up both sides on a hot skillet. Fill it up as you would the flour tortilla it’ll still be yummy! Thank you Kalley!
Nothing like a classic taco!
