Over 30 Taco Inspired Meals
Taco Tuesday is a mainstay of family meal plans all over the country. But, even though Zachary thinks that tacos are basically the best food dish ever created in history, even he can get kind of tired of eating the same old tacos every week. And that’s why I’m excited to share over 30 Taco Inspired Meals!
Want even more ways to enjoy tacos? Check out this list of over 55 unique taco recipes you can make!

All of these dishes feature the flavor (and even the ingredients) of tacos, but in very different ways than your typical taco entree.
There are casseroles, mini cups, empanadas, salads, and more to choose from here! And, with them all, you can get your favorite Tex-Mex taste without eating a regular taco.
