Last Friday, I had my sister over for a girls night in. Basically, the perfect excuse to eat copious amounts of food and binge watch chick flicks. We had the movies down, but deciding on what to cook for ourselves was a challenge. I had an Old El Paso kit in the pantry, so we agreed on a #TacoNight!
Tacos, fajitas and nachos are one of my favourite things to eat when dining out. However, they’re also awesome, simple dishes to create at home when having guests over for dinner. All you need to do is prep and cook the ingredients – like veggies and steak, and combine with an Old El Paso fajita kit!
What we prepared for our girls night in fajitas:
Steak with mushrooms
Shrimp, using the Old El Paso seasoning inside the kit
Green peppers & red onions
Guacamole with tomatoes & red onions
Corn salsa
Tomato salsa
What is your favourite taco/fajita topping?
