Tacos!

We love taco night. It doesn't happen often enough around here. I had some ground beef from a local farm in the freezer, lettuce, tomato and avocado from our organic weekly delivery and cheese and salsa. All we needed was the shells and seasoning! I saw that Ortega had some new Whole Grain/Whole Wheat product and decided to check it out!

I am always skeptical of big-name products that claim they are whole wheat. They usually aren't very whole wheat at all. For instance, last week when I was making the spider pizza, I was looking for some premade whole wheat pizza dough. I had 2 choices, Boboli that was almost $5 for 1 pie or a different brand that was $2.50 for 2 pies! Seemed like an easy choice, right? They both had "100% whole wheat" on their packaging. Upon further inspection, on the Boboli was actually 100% whole wheat. The other one had enriched white flour as the first ingredient. Whuk?! I just don't get it... but, I digress, I am happy to report that Ortega passed initial inspection.

This is such a fun and easy dinner. Our toddler gets a kick out of assembling her taco (even though she takes it all apart and eats each piece with her fingers), it's fun for adults, easy to cook and not necessarily that bad for you! Especially if you load up on the veggies.
