Not only is this a beautiful dish it is totally packed with flavor you don’t want to miss.

I used to make this with ham and cheese, but making this with taco meat is an absolute stroke of genius.

I know that this recipe from Pillsbury said it is for 8 people, but there is no way my family would have been able to eat this and not walk away hungry so I used to make two of these.

Being able to have ingredients on hand for when life is busy is not only a healthier option it is so much better on the budget.

Buying the tubes of crescent rolls isn’t the cheapest, but I have usually been able to find these on sale from time to time and the shelf life is pretty decent so next time you think about it of see these, go ahead and buy a few tubes.Plus, it is cheaper than driving through a fast food line.

I had a tube of dough on hand one Sunday not long ago, my teen was working on homework, my husband was resting up for the busy week ahead. I tossed one of these in the oven. The fact that is was filled with hot meat and cheese made everyone smile. A snack isn’t always just a cookie or a banana, sometimes you need something a little more.

After it was finished off I got a heartfelt Thank you! And since I served it onto paper plates, right from the cookie sheet. the mess was super minimal. Hey, I need a break every once in a while as well!

This is what Pillsbury has to say about this super simple but smashing success.

This taco-filled crescent ring is the perfect meal for Taco Night! Dress it up with fresh shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and taco sauce for a fun twist on tacos!

With this recipe, you don’t even have to fire up the grill.

I am loving the summer days, but the thought of cooking up something hot and heavy just does not appeal to me. Yet there is something about the summer sizzle that rocks the menu.

Plus, this is the kind of salad that is a full meal and can be served for lunch at the lake, or evening after a hard day at work. Add some tortilla chips and fresh salsa and you are pretty set. Margarita’s are optional!

I am such a huge fan of cooking ahead, so I will make twice as much of this chicken and put half in the freezer so when I want to have this dish again all I have to do it reheat and add to a fresh bed of lettuce and produce.

Need something even more portable? Wrap up this in a large tortilla and you are ready to go!

Here  is what Katrina of Cafe Delites has to say about her sizzling hot salad.

Red chilli flakes…freshly squeezed lime juice…coriander (sub it out if you don’t like it, but man it’s good in this), garlic…cumin… so many flavours that dance together and create a steamy love affair on your tongue.

The greatest part of these enchiladas is that the left overs are the BOMB!!

My mom makes the best beef enchiladas. I would often ask her to make them for my birthday dinner. I learned how to make enchiladas and guess what. my kids often ask me to make them for their birthday dinners.

Every once in a while I make them just because everyone loves them so much. Hopefully, your family will love these as much as we do.

Usually, I make my enchiladas with canned sauce. But this recipe comes with a recipe for homemade enchilada sauce.

Perfect!  Once you make this dish you will never have to wonder what to fix for Mexican Food night again!

This is what Amanda from Chunky Chef has to say about this amazing dish.

Mexican food… ahhhhh Mexican food. I just simply do NOT get tired of eating it! Tacos, nachos, burritos, chimichangas, fajitas, and enchiladas. There are so many recipes for enchiladas, but this one is my absolute favorite one. Beef enchiladas with something extra… a homemade enchilada sauce!

Bring on the Chips Because This Salsa Is The Bomb!

I used to think that mango and salsa didn’t belong in the same sentence let alone as a recipe. The mangos I had eaten were a bit on the slimy side and the thought of dredging a perfectly good tortilla chip through the sweet mash seemed almost criminal.

But, that was before I learned how to pick out a good mango and cut one up. One of the perks of living in Southern California is the abundance of fresh fruit for such a long season.Mangos are a staple at our house.

Two of our kids joined Ballet Folklorico when we moved from Northern California to San Diego. The culture, dance, and food is bright and colorful. Just like this fresh fruit salsa.

This easy recipe is a perfect blend that makes my taste buds feel like are having a fiesta! It is perfect to serve with chips, on fish, and whatever else your heart desires.

Quick Tip:  If you do bring home a mango that’s slightly firmer to the touch, and not quite ready to go — ripening is easy! Just leave the mango out at room temperature, OR, to speed up the process, let the mango ripen (also at room temperature) inside a paper bag.
