This post is brought to you by Old El Paso. While taco night is a regular event in our kitchen, rarely does it fall on an actual Tuesday. I consider weeknight theme dinners next-level meal planning, and I’m just not there yet. I’m also not particularly concerned, as I am happy to devour tacos any night of the week.
