Mixed Up Tacos
Shake up your taco routine.
This combo works as a taco filling or as a taco salad base. No two bites are the same with this fun mix of ingredients. It can make for a one-pot supper as veggies are mixed in with the meat. Once you have your ingredients lined up, this comes together quickly.
Vegetarian? Skip the meat and add an additional can of beans for a satisfying taco base.

Notes
We serve this meal “choose your own adventure” style. People made taco salads, wrapped it up burrito style in a flour tortilla or broke up a crispy taco shell to make nachos.
¡Buen provecho!
