This recipe for skillet tacos is a quick and easy dinner that you can whip together in 20 minutes. It is also easy on the wallet. Estimated cost for this is $1.46 per serving. I found it in an issue of Taste of Home. It was first on my list to make after perusing the issue. I altered the recipe slightly to fit my families tastes. It was a hit and a fun change from the traditional tacos!
Another reason this recipe for skillet tacos caught my eye is because it is similar to a couple of recipes that are family favorites. The recipe looked like a Mexican twist on the recipe I have that I call Hubby’s Favorite Casserole. Obviously, it is my hubby’s fav. Since he loves Mexican, I knew he’d love this one. It is also similar to the Beef Taco Bake recipe that I have which is also a family favorite. Give it a try on a busy night and you’ll have dinner in a flash.

Yum! I can’t wait to try this! We don’t do beef, but I think I could use the soy crumbles and get a similar result!
