I like to prepare meals that don't require lots of time and effort but are still relatively healthy and tasty for my family. By doing the prep work for tacos the night before or in the morning before work, mealtime is more enjoyable for everyone! Add a side of chips and salsa, some sweet corn cake (mix is available in the mexican isle) and you've got an easy family meal.
