Oretga Taco Review
Our family eats tacos at least once a week. Jude absolutely loves tacos. It surprises me how many tacos he can consume. One thing I like about making tacos for my family is I can always sneak in a few healthy vegetables and no one is the wiser.
We recently received Ortega Whole Grain Taco Shells, 40% Less Sodium Taco Seasoning and Taco Sauce. I made a delicious Taco Casserole recipe and the boys loved it! It was super simple to make but full of flavor. I should have taken an after picture but we were too busy devouring our dinner.

Tacos are a family-friendly way to enjoy a meal together, and can be healthy when prepared with the right ingredients. The whole family can participate in this do-it-yourself dinner featuring a variety of nutritious and colorful toppings such as chopped tomatoes and peppers, low fat cheeses, crunchy and soft taco shells, seasonings and more.
