I’d never done that before trying it in a recipe from Prep Dish (see below). And at first my younger daughter said, “Mushrooms in our tacos? Why’d you do that?” But then guess what – she soon forgot and cleaned her entire plate. I made a few modifications (as I always tend to do!) to the original recipe and am sharing it below.
Sponsor Shoutout: Prep Dish
Funny enough, I recently asked some friends if they’d help me test some meal plans, and when several of them said, “Having someone else figure out a dinner plan and grocery list for me is so awesome!” I realized not everyone knows that meal planning services exist to do exactly that for you. So today I’m excited to tell you about one of our favorites – Prep Dish. Not only do they send you an organized shopping list with recipe instructions, but they tell you what items to prep in advance to make weeknight meals a breeze.

My new go to taco recipe!
Easy but it looks delicious!
SO GOOD! I had Cannellini Beans instead of pinto and honestly I think it made it better because it didn’t overpower the other flavors. And leftovers!
mmm tacos, my favorite! I must make this ;)
