Family meal night has never been easier than this. We all love tacos and this is a dish that will have everyone coming to the table. Everything is prepared in the same pot and takes hardly any time from stove to table. We love that this recipe uses both fresh and canned vegetables. Remember all forms fit when it comes to adding fruits and veggies to your plate.
