It’s 6 o’clock, you just walked in the door, and everyone is hungry?  Sound familiar?  As much as I try to plan ahead and prep food early, some days just end up like this.  That is when we have taco night.  It’s easy, it’s quick, and everyone loves it.

Seriously, this meal does only take 15 minutes.  Basically you are browning and seasoning some meat and cutting up some taco fixings.  That’s it.  Plate it up looking pretty, and you are all set to go.

I don’t usually eat tacos with tortillas, but you could add some sprouted corn tortillas or better yet, make your own.  I just saw a great recipe from Homemade Mommy for Homemade Sprouted Corn Tortillas.  They look delicious.  Going to have to try them out.  My kids would love it.

The taco fixings are easy.  Chop up some raw milk cheese, tomatoes, avocados, and cilantro.  We like sauerkraut on our tacos.  The seasoned meat we make is mild. I have a favorite taco seasoning that I use.  It’s organic and Non-GMO. If you would rather make your own, mix up some paprika, cumin, garlic and onion powder, pepper, and a mild chili powder.  If you want a little kick to it, you can add a titch of cayenne.  Don’t forget the hot sauce.

Well, time is short today.  Have to go make dinner for the fam.  Hope you enjoy our quick and easy taco night recipe.
