Dinner Made Easy With Old El Paso
Dinnertime when everyone in the family is at home and gathered around the table is the highlight of the day at our house. Let’s face it though life is really busy and mealtime and evenings can quickly become a rather hectic time. I love to cook from scratch, but some busy days I’m short on time and just need an easy recipe that will be delicious and nutritious that will be one that the whole family loves. I have no problem using a jar or even a meal kit on occasion especially if it will help me to avoid ordering pizza or going through the drive through yet again.
It just so happens that Mexican inspired foods are at the very top of our list of favorite foods and so that makes tacos an excellent go-to meal around here on busy days. Have you seen the new Stand ‘N Stuff Soft Tortillas Taco Boats Dinner Kit by Old El Paso, yet? These tortillas are the perfect way to make a healthy meal in minutes that the whole family will enjoy.
These soft tortillas are a huge hit with the kids as they love to fill them all by themselves with their favorite toppings and then they can just pick them up and eat them. This is a huge win for parents everywhere. How many times when having tacos for dinner do you find yourself having to put down your own taco and rewrapping the kid’s tacos once again?! With the taco dinner boats, all wrapping is done away with, and everyone in the family from the youngest to the oldest can just pick up their yummy taco and shove them right into their mouth.
Besides being an affordable and fun meal, tacos are a great family even on the busiest of nights for other reasons too. I find my kids eat at least twice the amount of veggies on taco night. I also love that taco night is an excellent night to get the kids involved in the kitchen helping prep the vegetables and other toppings.
You taco boat kit comes with a packet of cooking sauce that gets added to your meat. Then all you need supply on the side is lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and the list can go to include any other veggies and toppings that strike your fancy. And the good news is that this prep time takes no more time than it would take you to head out to go through the drive-through or cook some up chicken nuggets in the oven?
Did I mention the best part about this meal is that everyone can create their own taco with their favorite toppings? Someone doesn’t like tomatoes no big deal as it is super easy for each family member to skip any items they are not a fan of and yet enjoy their custom-built dinner.
So the next time you are looking to serve a home cooked meal but are stuck for ideas or are short on time reach for the Old El Paso Stand ‘N Stuff Soft Tortillas Taco Boats Dinner Kit. And in no time at all, you will have a scrumptious meal that includes tasty meat and a buffet of toppings on the table ready for your entire family to enjoy.
I love those El Paso Dinner Kits! I’m with you – sometimes I just don’t have time to make dinner from scratch and those taco boats really come in handy. I like to fill mine with southwestern salad fixings. Yum!
We have used El Paso products in the past. Haven’t tried their dinner kits. Those taco boats would be easy to use and fun to eat.
OOo these look really good! I’ve used El Paso taco kits, but I haven’t tried these before. I must!
I love the idea of this. If it’s easy I am over it. I am not a big cook and if I can find something that is quick and easy to make but is also healthy I will totally do it.
What a great idea with the boats and I had not noticed that before! Generally I do keep some Old El Paso kits in my pantry for creative dinner evenings.
Love El Paso products. Their taco seasoning and veggie refried beans are staples in our pantry. I’ve yet to try the dinner kits though. I may have to add these to my shopping list.
This perfect for people like me who’s always on the go. The El Paso mix can really make an instant and really tasty meal.
We tried these for the first time earlier this year and they were really good. The kids loved making taco boats.
I’m always looking for easy dinner solutions for my family. Old El Paso sounds like a great option for busy weeknights. I would love to make this later this week.
I need to get a taco boat kit to try. It looks like something my Son will love. Tacos are always a big hit in my house.
Oh my gosh! I didn’t know they had taco boats like these. I am going to have to buy some soon.
We love Old El Paso dinner kits. They make getting tacos on the table such a breeze.
What a wonderful taco night meal! I need to get some of those taco boats so we can do something fun like this!
I often have a few of the seasoning packets in my cabinet. I just saw these taco boats for the first time recently and thought they looked neat.
El Paso products are the best. I love using them when making tacos or fajitas. Now I am going to have to try these boats. I bet they are just as good!
I love those taco boats. Best for “recycling” left overs! Just a sprinkle of cheese, or a dollop of sour cream is all it would take to convert those left overs into something my family will enjoy!
El Paso makes a lot of great products and they do come in handy for some quick meals. Taco and fajitas are some of our favorite meals.
We love ol El Paso! We have these weekly and our kids love filling them and eating them! So delicious and easy and fun for the whole family
I loove cooking with Old El Paso! They have the best seasoning flavors. They’re my go-to for all things tacos haha! This looks great – cooking with their ingredients is the best.
