    I'm pretty sure I could eat some version of tacos every single day and never get tired of them. Even when you just stick to the basics you have a whole lot of options between the different types of tortillas and shells and all the different meats. But these days we can get away with calling so many things tacos even if they stray far from the original and I have to say I kind of love this trend! How do you guys feel about tacos? I'm hoping you love them too because I'm thinking I'm going to be sharing an awful lot of them this summer!

    These recipes are also super easy to adapt. So if it's just a couple people you could easily make half. If you are feeding a crowd for a party you could so easily triple! An impressive meal to share without an impressive amount of work. Whenever I'm entertaining I always try to have as much work done as possible before any guests show up. My slow cooker makes it all possible and fun meals like this make it even better!

    If you want to mix things up even more you can mix up the sauces and toppings and salsas and guacs. Let your imagination (or your taste buds!) take over and come up with all sorts of new combos.
