#Layered #Taco #Salad
The family taco evening has become a little easier! Instead of stuffing these taco shells, prepare this layered taco salad instead. It is simply perfect for a cheaper taco night preparation, or to prepare a tasty salad for a crowd!
I remember my childhood when I loved when mom made tacos for dinner. I just loved the flavor combination of flavorful taco ingredients and the crunchy bite in this crispy taco shell. I mean, we're having trouble finding a kid who doesn't like tacos, right?
So when I became the mother of a 5 year old child some time ago, I followed in my mother's footsteps and put tacos on our regular meal rotation. And just like me when I was a child, our sweet little Miss H. also loves tacos.
But do you know what I quickly discovered?
Making tacos is certainly not a simple and easy meal!
Not for me in any case.
By the time I finished cutting and preparing all the ingredients for the taco, I still had the task ahead of me to stuff all the taco shells! Which, for whatever reason, leads to a lot of trial and error and falling ingredients everywhere for me. And then when an already stuffed taco shell falls? ... don't even get me started. Definitely not the weekday night meal I was looking for.
Now, of course, I could have made bowls of ingredients and prepared them for my family to assemble and stuff their own taco shells. But somehow it would turn into me by stuffing my little one's tacos. Or, my little one just gets frustrated trying to get her taco toppings by herself.
I needed to find an easier way.
And so I transformed the taco family evening into a taco SALAD family evening.
You know what? It works wonderfully! Much less noise than assembling traditional tacos ... especially when preparing this layered taco salad ... which is just perfect for a taco evening. Or, perfect for making a salad for a crowd.
