My family loves taco night and all of the children eat this dish really well. It can be prepared and refrigerated until ready to bake. I'm in a season of life right now when two of my children are in school and the two children still at home take afternoon naps. I've been using nap time to make dinner so that I can spend time with my older kids when they get home from school. Then I can put dinner in the oven when we are ready to eat. It makes our afternoons a lot smoother and dinnertime is a lot less stressful for me since I'm not cooking while four children are wanting my attention.
