Shop bought taco kits are perfect for quick meals! Dress them up with homemade taco seasoning and chunks of juicy chicken for a personal touch!

For me, Mexican food is classic feel-good food. It's indulgent, communal, flavorful and vibrant. Good Mexican food is laden with picante ingredients leaving a fiery tingling on your tongue and your tummy full. When I need to throw together a quick meal with minimal effort, I usually reach for something Mexican. Either an assemble-by-numbers fajita kit or a packet of tortillas warmed in the microwave and situated center of the table to be grabbed and filled at whim.
When I first decided to run this series on packet meals, I had to stop myself from doing 5 nights of Mexican variations! These tacos won out over the other 4 meals I considered simply because they're so easy! The rice is optional and the condiments can be rustically served straight from their respective jars, not dished onto a divided platter. Whatever works best for your family.
Don't do chicken? Swap it out for beef or perfectly cooked flaky cod, or even an assortment of roasted vegetables. No matter what protein filling you use, you've got to make my homemade taco seasoning to go with it! It's the shining star that catapults this dish from being a run-of-the-mill box meal into something that tastes from scratch and totally homemade!
For the quick & dirty tacos:
diced chicken
homemade taco seasoning
tortillas
guacamole
sour cream
cheese
salsa
lettuce
coriander

Featured from last week's party
I hate to do this, but last week the numbers for visiting other links was so low that there aren't any features! I base my features largely on what posts you guys view the most. Only 5 links were viewed by people other than me last week! :( I don't know about you, but I link up to parties so other people will visit my blog, but if I don't visit any, then why should I expect others to visit me? Can we all try to click at least one other link in the party this week? It can be ANY link you'd like! Please?
