The avocados make this meal, so be sure not to skimp!  🙂  Set up a make-your-own-taco-bar and the kids will love it even more.

And of course the perfect side with any Mexican dish is spanish rice.   My homemade Spanish Rice is a simple and healthy version that is worth the little bit of extra effort.  However, if you’re in a hurry, try Knorr Fiesta Sides but skip the oil (you won’t even notice.)

If you’re feeling “themey” (not sure about you, but I love a good theme!) then try my Best Ever Margarita with dinner tonight.  And surprise the kids with a special drink too! My kids love it when I make Frozen Strawberry Limeade.  Happy Cooking! ~ Gena

Ingredients:
Serves 5-6

• 8 Tortillas Fresca
• 1 can pinto beans, drained
• 1 can black beans, drained
• homemade taco seasoning
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1/2 head lettuce, chopped
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tomato
• hot sauce (optional)
• Spanish rice for side

Directions:

• Heat beans and corn in a saucepan until hot.  Add 1/4 cup of water and taco seasoning and let simmer a few minutes.  You may need to add more water if sauce seems too thick.
• Meanwhile, if using the uncooked Tortillas Fresca, cook your tortillas.
• To serve, hold tortilla like a taco and layer with beans and corn, lettuce, avocados, cheese and tomatoes.  Top with hot sauce if desired.  Serve with spanish rice or a side salad. Enjoy!
