acos are such a brilliant quick family meal. Cook some fish, beans, chicken or meat. Warm up some tortillas. Pile everything in the middle of the table and let everyone choose their own adventure. I also love them for entertaining as well for the same reason. This is my go-to for Friday night dinner because Fridays are a work day for me and so I don’t have much time to cook. Plus my Irishman is usually home late and the boys are tired from a big day at preschool / family daycare. Yay for tacos!
