Taco Tuesdays

Is there a meal in your family that everyone enjoys? Ours is Taco Tuesday.

For the past 5 years we have always eaten a version of Taco Tuesday, we batch cook a huge amount of “burrito mix” and freeze it in portions that can be easily defrosted for a tasty weeknight dinner. The kids started off just eating avocado, sour cream and cheese wraps but have slowly incorporated the magical burrito mix and all the trimmings making it a nourishing and high fibre meal for everyone.
