These Ultimate Crunchy Tacos are a family favorite. They’re crunchy, savory, filling, and endlessly customizable. Perfect for an easy weeknight recipe everyone will enjoy!
These crispy tacos are next level. They’re one of my favorite weeknight recipes to make as they’re easily customizable for everyone to enjoy, and made with wholesome ingredients. Not to mention, they make great leftovers for those busy weeks.
Pro tip: if you make tacos as often as we do, I highly recommend making a batch of my homemade taco seasoning to keep in your spice cabinet. I love these jars to store the seasoning in!
Sides and Topping Ideas
One of my favorite family date night ideas include themed dinner meals. It’s such a fun way to bring the family together to add excitement during a mundane work week. We tend to partake in Taco Tuesday – this recipe is always on rotation! Here’s a list of sides and toppings we tend to have ready to go:
- Spicy Pico De Gallo
- Fresh & Chunky Avocado Salsa
- Tangy & Chunky Mango Avocado Salsa
- Fresh & Easy Guacamole
- Cowboy Caviar
- Salsa
- Sour cream – or swap for whole fat Greek yogurt
- Cilantro
- Chives
Other Weeknight Favorite Recipes
To make weeknight dinners a bit easier, I tend to double and triple recipes to ensure leftovers for the next day. Here are several of my favorite recipes to make for weeknight family meals:
- Italian Zest Meatballs – to make meatball subs, or to top over a bed of pasta
- Crispy Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce – I love making extra chicken to add to salads for lunch the next day
- Easy & Flavorful Chicken Fajitas – a recipe we have on rotation for Tuesdays!
- Greek-Inspired Kebabs with Homemade Tzatziki Sauce – a great grilling recipe
- Deconstructed Burger Bowls – easy and quick to prepare with the most flavorful sauce!
