Rochie Pinson’s Tried-and-True (Quick Prep!) Weeknight Dinners: Tacos!

She may make lots of challah from scratch each week, but weeknight dinners need to be quick to prep…and super tasty. Like these tacos!

If you joined me yesterday, you already know that the dinners that are the easiest to prepare are usually the ones my kids enjoy the most. And while yesterday we had these Grilled Chicken Wraps, tonight’s dinner is…Tacos!

For this meal, I like to put out all the stuff on the table and let the kids assemble the tacos themselves. This supper is always a huge hit.
