Easy Chicken Tacos
I had both kiddos home sick yesterday. So, yesterday was a hectic day. Did I mention that my husband works from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays? No? Well, he does so we had a full house yesterday.
Dinner sort of snuck up on me. Not that I’m saying it tip-toed up behind me and spooked me or anything. It just got late quicker than I expected.
So, I needed a quick, easy dinner.
Does that ever happen to you?
Because I use freezer cooking, I have cooked chicken and beef in my freezer.
My attempt at a homemade 3D picture....
This recipe is quick and easy. You could make it with chicken or beef.

A Dash of Domestic 
I love easy freezer meals! I’m already digging into the lentils I froze after the last crockpot cooking frenzy–clearly time to restock!
I’m almost out of the cream of mushroom soup I made a few months ago. I need to buy more mushrooms and make another batch.
This is something my son would love! And I like making meals like this that can keep in the frig for a day or two so whenever he’s hungry he’s got something there for him!
They’re great for left-overs. I’ve got probably half a meals worth left in the fridge right now.
The perfect week night meal, or lunch, or midnight snack, or maybe breakfast.
My husband shares your ideas. He had some for a late night snack!
Did you save me a couple. Or just one?!
🙂 I’ve got as many as you want!
I should probably be more on the ball about having pre-cooked stuff in my freezer. I always tend to forget about the defrosting time. Great post!
I love having a few pre-made items available. They defrost quickly when you add them to sauces. 🙂
hope the kids are better today 🙂
excellent idea to have emergency food on hand. This looks like a good meal too! c
and where is the recipe for your mushroom soup I want that one!! c
