Nanny to Mommy

If there’s one meal that’s guaranteed to bring my family to the table with smiles and empty plates, it’s tacos—specifically street-style tacos that remind us of our favorite local Mexican restaurant. In recent months, I’ve found myself trying to recreate more of those comforting restaurant dishes at home, both for the sake of our budget and because it’s become a fun way to get creative in the kitchen.

Our local Mexican restaurant has hands-down the best street tacos, and I’ve been missing them like crazy. So, with a little experimenting (and some surprisingly good results!), I’ve come up with a version of healthy homemade street tacos that everyone in the family loves. They’re colorful, packed with flavor, loaded with protein and veggies, and easy to customize for picky eaters or dietary needs.

As a working parent, I know the value of a meal that’s fast to prep but still feels like something special. These tacos come together in under 30 minutes, can be made in bulk for meal prep, and offer enough variety that everyone, from toddlers to teenagers, can build their own version exactly how they like it.

They’re also:

- Kid-approved (even with the hidden veggies)

- Great for leftovers

- Budget-friendly

- Freezer-friendly (you can freeze seasoned meat or rice ahead of time)

- Perfect for Taco Tuesdays or weekend gatherings

Looking after yourself is crucial, especially in a moment like the one we are living in today. And, now that the holiday season is quickly approaching, it is impossible not to think that Christmas will be a little different from usual this year.

Indeed, there won’t be as many family parties and gatherings, and all the traditions that are so close to our hearts might have to wait until next year. In all this, new lockdown measures and restrictions are coming into place. Whether you are facing the months ahead with your loved ones or alone, it has never been as important to dedicate time and love to yourself. Start from the tips below.
