Are you a fan of #tacotuesday? This little guy is the biggest taco fan ever. Out of my family of eight, he eats the most tacos! How about you, how many tacos can you eat at one meal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never Skip a Taco Tuesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We sometimes get a wee bit sick of eating Tacos on Tuesday, or any day for that matter. There is only one child who asks for plain ole' beef tacos every single week. I've eaten them until just the smell of taco seasoning makes me gag a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what? There are so many other ways to have taco night! Instead of ground beef, try steak! Game changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, at this stage, my little guy insists on a standard taco: shell, ground beef, sour cream, and cheese. In that order. I know, you would put the cheese next to the meat so it would get nice and melty, but that is not how he likes it. The cheese must go on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have tried to do different styles of tacos to mix it up, you know, a nice fish taco is a fun change. You can use a firm white fish and make some Avocado Lime Crema<\/a> to make it a bit more magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesdays, we suffer through plain ole ground beef tacos as a family, for the benefit of one. <\/p>\n\n\n

Hopefully someday, he will look back and realize how much we all loved him to endure taco night every week for over three years and counting… I'm sure one day he will grow out of it. Until then, we have learned how to put a twist on taco night while allowing him to have his standard taco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes he doesn't notice if I substitute ground chicken, turkey or bison. We also like to have a lot of toppings to make it interesting. Black olives, chopped tomato, chopped onion, different flavors of salsa, different hot sauces. I try to have rice and beans on the side to make it more filling and stretch it a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Ahead and Stocking Your Pantry for Taco Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Try to keep beef, chicken, and other meats in the fridge and freezer so it's fast and easy to throw together a meal. The crunchy taco pack from Farm Foods Market has beef, chicken, and fish. You can put it on “auto-ship” so you'll always have what you need for taco Tuesday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Monday was MLK day, my children had a day off school. This always throws me off my routine for the week so I didn't have ground meat in my fridge, I didn't have cheddar cheese, what a dilemma!  I was too tired to even think of making a trip to the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I grabbed some Once A Month Cooking Chicken<\/a> that I had set aside and started to warm it up, I threw it on top of some Organic Tortilla chips I had in the pantry, then added Havarti cheese on top! After it was hot and melty I added sour cream and guacamole. Believe it or not, he gobbled it up and never complained once! I guess he forgot it was Tuesday too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, I've included multiple taco recipes, a taco recipe roundup just for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
