Taco Tuesday Bowls
Before I started following my own meal plans we were having ‘Taco Tuesday’. Every week.
The boys loved it. And I loved having an excuse to explore the wonderful world of Mexican flavours.
I first made these taco bowls with some leftover pulled pork that was amazing. However I’m just as happy with this simple weeknight option.
Although it does all depend on the quality of your hot sauce.
My favourite is a smoky chipotle that has a bit of sweetness but you could go for tabasco or even sriracha. Just add a little at a time. It’s easy to add more heat but difficult to subtract!
