Put a New Spin on Taco Night with Fiesta Spaghetti Tacos

Sometimes it seems impossible to find meals that the kids will eat. With so many picky palates, I often end up preparing several dishes every night to satisfy the whole family. When I’m looking for a simple dinner that everyone enjoys, I opt for taco night. The cooking can be done in no time, and it’s a hands-down family favorite.  

I recently received an Old El Paso taco kit and was introduced to a new twist on the traditional hard-shell beef taco. The Fiesta Spaghetti Tacos add tasty strands of pasta to the traditional taco recipe. We still used ground beef, shredded cheese, and the seasoning mix that captures the taste of the original tacos. The spaghetti just serves as an added kid-friendly bonus!

One lucky Mom Central reader will get the chance to win try the Spaghetti Tacos when she win this Old El Paso gift package to try Spaghetti Tacos. The gift package includes: a plastic colander, fiesta paper plates and napkins, a box of spaghetti, and more. The winner will be equipped for taco night and surprise the family with fiesta spaghetti tacos!

This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to our winner, Melanie S.!
Disclosure: Mom Central received two Old El Paso gift packages to facilitate this review and giveaway.

My family loves Mexican food

My family loves Mexican food and we try to eat out at least once a month if we can. When we can't I try to make some dishes at home although they don't taste the same, it is close enough.

Wow! What a great idea!

my 8 year old loves icarly, and they are always talking about spaghetti tacos, so she wants to try!

This really does sound too

Submitted by Julie Smith on Wed, 01/18/2012 - 9:44am.

This really does sound too cool! We are always "experimenting" with different takes on food (for example, I do something similar to a major fast-food chain with my chili and put spaghetti on the bottom, then chili, then shredded Mexican or cheddar cheese, then slices of green onion - it's REALLY good; you should try it).

I think my Bebe Boy and the grandbebes would get a kick out of this, too. I'll have to try it.

Thanks for the chance to win!
