Tacos have always been one of my favorite foods. This taco recipe is the most simple and hands off recipe that delivers the tastiest tacos EVER!  This is the best meal if you don’t want to do a lot of work and just want to throw it all in and have dinner ready in 20 minutes. 

With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, it would be a crime if I didn’t post a Mexican themed recipe. One of my favorite dips ever, if not favorite, is Guacamole. The silky avocado mixed with crunchy onions, jalapeños, and tang from the acid is the best on just about everything. I love to add a little sweetness by adding a ripe mango, taking it to another level. This Guac is a must for this Cinco de Mayo, and just about every Taco Tuesday!
