Old El Paso Taco Twist GIVEAWAY! 9/20

8/29/2013

***Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by Old El Paso through MyBlogSpark. All opinions are 100% my own.***

We absolutely love Mexican food here. It seems I am making tacos, enchiladas, burritos, or quesadillas at least twice a week. I would have to say, my kids definitely have a favorite: Tacos! They're easy to make, fun to eat, and even my toddlers can help assemble them.

One of the best things about tacos is the fact that they're incredibly versatile. How can you get sick of them when you can change them up just by adding different fillings and toppings? Some of our favorites, other than traditional ground beef, are chicken and lime, black bean tacos, steak tacos, and delicious shredded pork. I have even made breakfast tacos with eggs and Chorizo, as well as vegetarian tacos using eggplant, field greens, and tons of veggie toppings.

Well Old El Paso offers a ton of great products that make taco night easier than ever. From sauces and salsas to tortillas and seasoning mixes, to refried beans and dinner kits, Taco Night can be every night, if you so desire!

9/2/2013 08:34:44 am

Avocados are usually not within my budget, but sometimes I splurge and get one to liven up tacos.

9/2/2013 08:24:04 pm

I might put a twist on it by making nachos.

We don't put too much of a twist on, except that we all get to put on whatever ingredients we want. And my daughter likes to fill her taco with refried beans instead of meat. Some of us like olives, some like tomatoes, some like onions. Some like hard shell; some like soft shell! (I like both!)

Tabitha Shrader

9/4/2013 09:14:55 am

For me, a taco isn't a taco without onions, but for a twist, I'll splurge and top the tacos with diced avocado.

9/4/2013 10:37:10 am

I will cook the Taco filling in the crock pot so dinner is ready when we get home.

Jennifer Aikens

Tonight, I made a nice batch of Mexican rice as a side.

Misty Marie Battle

9/6/2013 10:04:50 pm

Tacos with cheese sauce.

9/7/2013 10:56:02 am

Taco night here is never the same twice--a lot depends on what I have in the house (peppers or no peppers, corn or flour tortillas, etc.).

Tina W

9/7/2013 12:35:20 pm

I always try to have a veggie option.

Another fun way to make tacos different is to use leftover roast chicken, shredded and cooked with cumin and other Mexican-style spices.

9/9/2013 10:22:36 pm

Using the slow cooker for your tacos.

9/10/2013 11:56:59 am

My husband likes double fried tacos.

9/11/2013 02:27:47 am

I like to put just plain avocados on top.

9/11/2013 02:56:43 am

Using soft tortillas (corn or flour) is a nice change from the usual hard corn tortillas.

Cathy French

9/11/2013 03:19:33 am

9/15/2013 05:39:32 am

When I cook the meat, I like to add onions and bell peppers so they cook, too. Then using raw onions and peppers as toppings gives different textures.

9/15/2013 01:29:52 pm

Sometimes we put hot sauce in the tacos and do not tell each other. It's a mystery and we are always scared to take the first bite.

9/15/2013 08:35:42 pm

I added taco seasoning to sour cream.

9/15/2013 09:10:01 pm

I like to add pico.

9/16/2013 01:50:59 am

For dinner tonight, I'm planning to make tacos using soft tortillas, seasoned ground turkey, and topping including pepper-Jack cheese, onions, and salsa. Not sure what I'll make for a side, but it will probably be spicy rice.

Megan Parsons

9/16/2013 07:56:28 am

Try different kinds of cheese as topping.

Heather Garcia

I am not sure how much of a twist it is but we can not have taco night without black olives

9/18/2013 06:50:12 am

I like to use Pepper Jack cheese, and my trick is to put it under the freshly cooked meat so the heat from the meat melts the cheese.

Lorena Keech

9/18/2013 12:36:21 pm

We like to make taco salad with spicy taco chips.

Ross Hassel

Homemade pico de gallo

9/20/2013 07:33:29 am

This isn't really a twist, it's more like a tip. When I make seasoned ground meat for tacos or burritos, I make a double batch. It freezes well, so when I'm rushed for dinner, I can just pop it in the microwave and I'm halfway to a good meal.

LeeAnn Perry

9/20/2013 07:54:47 am
