Taco Tuesday is weekly fixture at my house. All of my guys expect it and will actually be very disappointed if things get changed up. Now we may not actually have tacos each week but we do have some sort of Mexican dish that will be similar to a taco. Sometimes it’s a taco salad, a burrito or a tasty quesadilla…we still call it Taco Tuesday!

Naturally I am always looking for ways to keep Taco Tuesday exciting so when I spotted those cans of Pace® Taco Complete on the shelf at Publix, I KNEW I was going to give it a try!

I am sure you have had those days where things don’t go as planned and you end up home later than expected….like 8:30 late! Life still keeps going and us moms have to roll with the punches and make some quick decisions. Dinner being the one that usually causes me the most issue!

Here’s an example of a recent “things didn’t go as expected kind of day” at my h0use…

My brain starts rolling through the options. Do I scrounge through the fridge looking for leftovers that I can piece together into a meal and listen to everyone complain? Throw together peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and listen to everyone complain? Suck it up and stick to my original plan and be stuck in the kitchen for another hour even though I haven’t sat down for the last 4 hours? Then the light bulb goes off and I remember that can of Pace® Taco Complete—problem solved!

Yep, I had saved my poor feet and my sanity by having that can of Pace® Taco Complete handy! I didn’t have hard shell tacos on hand but I had some four tortillas and of course I always have shredded cheese in the fridge. I grabbed a skillet and in about 10 minutes, I had whipped up a batch of crazy simple quesadillas. I served those up with some lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream and dinner was done—PHEW! The best part…my guys LOVED the meal.

The moral of my story to all you moms out there…be prepared for those “things didn’t go as expected kind of days” because they will ALWAYS happen!

Look for new Pace® Taco Complete in the international aisle next time you shop. Why not grab a couple of cans to tuck in your pantry for days that don’t go quite as expected. The can is filled with taco meat, corn, peppers & black beans so you simply heat, stuff and eat! It makes 7 tacos so you can easily serve up a meal that’s quick, economical and super convenient!

NOTE: Pace® Taco Complete is only available in select Publix stores.
