We love rotisserie chicken and black bean, or steak and grilled veggie, and the absolute fave in our house is seafood! Fish Tacos are our absolute favorite! Fresh flaky fish topped with a southwestern cucumber coleslaw in warm tortillas. Yum right?

{Mandy’s Taco Tip}: Make plenty of filling when you make tacos and freeze the extra. It’s an easy way for quick, homemade weeknight meals. Always have a batch of our easy Salsa & Guacamole on hand for any taco night! Also pick up one of these taco holders so that your tacos don’t go flying everywhere. And if you really want a taco party, you have to get this taco party corn hole set. Follow these simple tips and you will be in taco heaven in no time.
