Beef Taco Marinade

We love TACOS!! You should do the Beef Taco Marinade tomorrow for Taco Tuesday!

At our house, we have tacos so frequently it is shocking that we actually are not sick of them. When Matt was grabbing food at the beginning of maternity leave he bought a lot of different types of meat and froze them and now we are trying to figure out how to use them all.

This was a fantastic dinner that did not take a whole lot of effort. I mean right now is a good time to try a little more fancy meals. I don’t always feel motivated enough to make the fancy stuff!
