Taco Bar Night

An easy, nutritious weeknight meal we often have in our houses is “Taco Bar Night.”  You can prepare most of the ingredients ahead of time and put in containers in the fridge to be pulled out for dinner.  This     is great especially for nights when you have after school activities and everyone’s eating at different times.    Be creative and add whatever ingredients your family likes!

Whole Wheat Tortillas – (We recommend Ezekial Tortillas in the Whole Foods Freezer section or using baked tortilla chips from Whole Foods)

Beans – Black, Pinto, Refried (make sure it’s on the bean in the can)

Roasted Sweet Potatoes – See recipe below on how to prepare

Lettuce  or Cabbage

Corn – we like frozen corn that has been thawed

Radishes, Cucumbers, Tomatoes – diced

Olives

Brown Rice – You can buy microwavable brown rice in the freezer section of most grocery stores

Avocado – Or Guacamole (we mash an avocado and add garlic salt and bragg liquid amino to ours)

Cilantro

Salsa – Amy’s and Muir Glen are “clean brands” or you can make your own
