School Night Supper {Walking Tacos}

I’ve been chronicling our Sunday Suppers since the inception of Dixie Delights.  If you haven’t been around since the beginning of time, I try my hardest to make a good, sit-down family supper every Sunday.  But during the week we eat crock pot meals, leftovers and easier things.  One of which is Walking Tacos!  Bestie P introduced us to this culinary delight when I was down and out with ankle gate 2014.

The littles think these are just the bees knees.  Here’s how to do it…

1. Cook your taco meat of choice.  For simplicity’s sake, I brown ground beef and an onion and then cook in a pack of taco seasoning, can of black beans, can of chopped green chilis and handful of cilantro.  This would also work with just beans, ground turkey or shredded chicken.

2. Assemble your toppings.  Our faves include taco sauce, pico, sour cream, queso, shredded mexican cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions and avocado.  We don’t always have all of them.

3. Set out a variety pack of chips.  I buy the one in the blue bag that contains fritos, doritos, cool ranch doritos and sun chips because my peeps love these for their tacos.

4. Open the bags, load them up, grab a fork and enjoy!!  Some how tacos are SO MUCH MORE FUN served up in a chip bag.

I usually cook three to four times a week (including Sunday Supper), we typically eat out once and then have leftovers the other nights.  Of course, leftovers are quickly becoming a thing of the past with these two boys!  If you’re curious, other items on our menu this week include our favorite crock pot spaghetti and meatballs and a teriyaki pork tenderloin with rice and broccoli.

I’d love to hear about your fave school night / week night din dins!

I have loved participating in Operation Organization at 11 Magnolia Lane since they kicked the series off a few years back.  I’ve shared our homework cart and some lovely spaces in my family office, the garage, the mudroom and the kitchen over the years.

Sunday Supper {Buttermilk Ranch Dressing}

Okie dokey, here’s another oooold post rescued from the drafts folder.  It never saw the light of day because the pictures are decidedly unappetizing looking.  But alas, the meal was pretty yummy and the recipes are worth sharing.  Food photographer, I am not. For this supper, I already had a batch of Orecchiete with Broccoli Rabe… Read More
