Sweet Potato and Chorizo Tacos

Sweet Potato and Chorizo Tacos

Tacos have a special place in my heart and I’d say we have them at least once a week for breakfast or dinner. I love coming up with new combos that are a little bit unusual. They usually start as an experiment and end up as my new favorite recipe! To me, that’s what cooking is all about. These tacos are extra special thanks to the potatoes getting cooked in the chorizo renderings and a layer of fried cheese (frico) that really takes them to a whole other level! I am telling y’all that these tacos are amazing in every sense. From texture, taste, and beyond you are going to love these sweet potato and chorizo tacos for a new weeknight dinner.

The Best Chicken Tacos

I am not sure when Taco Tuesday became a thing, but I am totally on board. For one I love tacos (duh), but secondly I love that every week I can use this day as an excuse to make some sort of taco and I don’t have to think about what’s for dinner! The only thing I have to decide is do I want steak tacos, fish tacos, taco salads, or chicken tacos! Not a bad problem to have right? I have been meaning to share my chicken taco recipe and and am finally getting around to it! This recipe is not only full of flavor, but it can be ready in 30 minutes any night of the week! I have created the BEST chicken tacos and you are going to love adding this recipe into your taco rotation!

Slow Cooker Beef Banh Mi Tacos

We've been on a taco kick lately.  Tacos for breakfast, tacos for lunch, and tacos for dinner.  Matter of fact, we are having tacos for dinner tonight too!  I can't get enough of creating different flavor combinations to throw into a taco shell and call it a day.  For a while now I have been making banh mi bowls for dinner and my guys go crazy over them.  I got to thinking, wouldn't these be amazing in taco form too?  Why yes, yes they would...and they are!  My slow cooker beef banh mi tacos are just the easy weeknight meal that you have been waiting for to spice up your weekly meal routine!
