Taco Bar Sunday

We have Taco Bar around here at least once a month. You'd think in the time I've been writing Mending Wendy, I'd have been able to get a good picture of it. I haven't. It's because, while easy, Taco Bar causes a little frenzy when you're getting it on the table - what with the stirring and the can opening and the warming. It's quite a spread - here's what's included in ours:

• Pulled Chicken taco meat
• Ground Beef taco meat
• Refried Beans
• Lettuce
• Shredded Cheese
• Soft taco shells
• Hard taco shells
• Black Olives
• Scoops Chips
• Salsa
• Sour Cream

All of that is just piled on the table - however you can get it to fit. Everyone builds their own taco, burrito, chalupa, taco salad, or nachos from those fixin's. We love it! One of the great things about this is calories are easy because you measure everything separately. Today, I didn't have enough calories left for the full tablespoon of sour cream on my nachos, so I had half of a tablespoon. It's easy to finagle the pieces you want to fit the calories you have left. If you want an easy dinner with plenty of left-overs to pack in lunches (or to have the next day like we did back in January - pictured below) - give this a try!
