What do you have with tacos

[GoodFairies]

We have corncake too! I buy a pre-packaged mix in the "ethnic foods" section of my grocery. It's near the taco seasoning and re-fried beans. I think it's Chi Chi's brand. You just add a can of creamed corn and some melted butter. YUM!!!

I just had some this week - as a side to chili.

Mexicali Rice and Beans and Corn

1 pkg boil-in-bag rice
1 15 oz can "Mexican" corn (it's got green/red bell peppers in it)
1 small can of black beans
2 tbsps Caesar dressing

Cook the rice according to pkg directions and drain. Empty into a pot, bowl or other service device with the corn and black beans. Drizzle on the salad dressing and mix well. Serve warm or cold (I've only served it warm though). Very filling and delcious.

Rice, corn, beans. Also cottage cheese...but I think I'm the only person in the world who serves this with tacos. We like it.

DBF and I make homemade tacos and we are always trying to find something to make with it.... DBF does not like re fried beans so that is out.... thanks

Will he eat regular beans...like black beans, they come in a can and you can even get them with chiles and onions mixed in.


We have rice and beans sometimes refried but we have one that won't eat them either so we just have regular beans.

We also have had, cottage cheese, salad, corn or on one day broccoli (?). I don't think there's any rule.

I usually make a big salad and honestly the kids and I prefer having taco salad we just break up the taco shell and eat it that way!!! Yum!! Now DH will still eat his tacos and then have a salad also. So I feel like it is a fairly healthy meal, and one we all love.

We usually have Spanish rice, sometimes even just the Lipton kind in the envelope. We usually also do chips and salsa.

Sometimes nothing but lately I make Taco Rice with it. I have started making most rice from scratch over the last year so the boxed stuff tastes wierd to us now. I just use regular rice, chicken broth and a homemade taco seasoning in it. It's really good.

Does he not like the canned refried beans or beans in general? My mom made refriend beans once that I even liked, and I Hate beans. She sautees up a chopped onion, added a can of red kidney beans and a little chicken brother. Simmer until the beans are softer. She then mashes up the beans, adds a little more broth if needed and seasonings like cumin and chili powder (I add garlic too). They are really good and NOTHING like the refried beans in the cans or restaurants.

The corncake is awesome too. I don't do it with taco's really but with all other mexican.

These are all great ideas.... keep them coming....

As far as salads do you mean a regular salad or a mexican salad?

As far as the beans he does eat other beans.. he will eat beans in chili just not re fried beans....

It just depends on what's in the house for side items. Usually it's a variation of:

rice either brown cooked with lime juice and chili powder or cheesy rice

fruit salad

black beans and corn with some taco seasoning and chopped onion and pepper

chips and salsa

gucamole or cheese dip

simple salad sometimes just left over lettuce and tomatoes other times it's cucmber and onion

roasted veggies--squash, tomatoes, peppers and onions, even spicy broccoli

We usually have black beans and Spanish rice with our tacos, sometimes chips and salsa.

We like to put jalapeños, shredded sharp cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo on our tacos...oh and salsa!
