This month on October 4th it was National Taco Day, and I missed it. As someone who is taco obsessed, how did I not know about this? I found out about a week after the 4th and have been cooking up southwest dishes ever since.
My families love for tacos runs so deep, we decided to over compensate and just eat lots of tacos and other southwest meals this month go make up for our mistake. ;)
I mean, who doesn't love a taco? Or nachos. Or fajitas. Or a burrito bowl. Or chips and salsa. Or guacamole. (This list is endless for me.)
Hormel Foods has some great recipes on their website and since I am forever on the hunt for new dinner ideas, I find myself checking them out often. When this months product came and I found Chi-Chi's salsa and Chi Chi's gluten free white corn tortillas. I knew we would be enjoying not only gf tacos, but also chips and salsa over the next two days. YUM!
Here is what we at on two separate nights:
In honor of a month that holds a day that is near and dear to me (and my taste buds), I give you the best of Stilettos and Diaper Bags recipes.
Here a few of my favorite southwestern recipes that I have posted on the blog in the past few years:
(slow cooker chicken tacos)
(gluten free taco salad)(foil baked fish w/ a southwestern twist)
(Southwestern Stuffed Peppers)(Ropa Vieja with black beans & rice) (Mexican tortilla casserole)(burrito bowls) (chicken and black bean nachos)(slow cooker fajitas)
Are you a fan of taco night? Does your family love southwestern food as much as mine does?
