As the self quarantine plods on I have been looking for ways to make dinners that are a little more fun, a little different, yet simple. The Taco Bar (or the Build Your Own Taco Dinner) was a hit this week.

I did decide to make it a little more “fancy” compared to our usual serve yourself off the stove dinner routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There really isn’t much difference between “making tacos” for dinner and putting together a taco bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Brown some ground beef, chicken, ground turkey, tofu, shredded beef; whichever your family prefers. Season it with some cumin and salt and pepper or a prepared Taco mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chop up your favorite Taco fixings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Serve it as a build your own dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kids can make their own tacos with chips and salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Or they can make a nacho supreme or a taco salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I did try the prepared standing taco shells. Not impressed. I will stick with my fried corn tortillas for next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My family enjoyed this simple fun meal. I hope yours does too.

I also had a little fun taking pictures of the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
