I love Friday’s because we usually have a house full of people. The menu is typically the same every Friday, because everyone has grown use to expecting Taco night and they all look forward to it. I’ve tried doing taco night with just me and hubby, but we both agree that it is just not the same without a group of people. I always have an assortment of spreads and everyone makes their own tacos. Here is what my spread consists of:
1 bowl of chopped onions
1 bowl of diced tomatoes
1 bowl of sour cream
1 bowl of shredded Mexican blend cheese
1 bowl of guacamole
1 bowl of queso
1 bowl of salsa
1 bowl with the chopped meat, steak, or chicken
a dish with the tortillas
a large bowl with Tostitos Scoops
a bowl with rice
I always make my own taco seasoning. I don’t like the packages because they contain a bunch of artificial stuff and homemade tastes EXACTLY the same! I usually mix up chicken, steak, ground beef or turkey tacos depending on what is on sale that week.
Taco Recipe
(this recipe is for about 1 pound of meat, but I usually use 2 pounds if we have a lot of company over)
1 pound chopped meat
1 tbsp chili powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
Brown chopped meat until all juices have evaporated. Turn off heat and add all spices, plus 1/4 cup water. Mix well and let sit before serving.
Now I’m starving! Enjoy!!
