Old El Paso Family Taco Night Review and Giveaway (US through 11/23/2010)

I wish I had pictures of our fun to show you! I bought a replacement cable for my camera, but it's still not working .. which means I need to buy a new one :(...urgh!! I'd been waiting to review and post this one until I got the camera working .. it's not going to happen too soon, so here you are!

In my house, we always have "Theme Nights" (and days).  Whether it's Family Craft Night, Game Night, or Movie Night, it's always a good time for all of us to get together, have fun and establish a family tradition.

When My Blog Spark suggested "Family Taco Night", I jumped on it!  We LOVE tacos, so why NOT put a "Family Taco Night" on at least once a month.  Since Old El Paso offers up all kinds of taco kits, seasonings, chiles, dips and sauces, they are our go-to for taco basics!  They also carry everything else you need for your Mexican dining experience - from refried beans, enchilada sauce and the whole works!  Their taco seasoning comes in many flavors:  Burrito, Cheesy Taco, Chili, Fajita, Taco, Mild Taco, and even a reduced-sodium seasoning!

If you'd like to 'mix up' your Taco Night, try one of THESE recipes:
  • Easy Fish Tacos
    • Old El Paso® taco shells, seasoning mix and taco sauce and battered fish fillets make quick work out of Mexican fare.
  • Tarantula Tacos
    • Having a Halloween party? Gather the kids and make spook-tacular tacos!  (In MY house, with a Bebe Boy, ANY day is a good day for spooky-looking treats!)
You can even combine your Family Taco Night with a Family Game Night with  El Tacodor™, the world’s only Family Taco Night Game. Challenge each another with quick fire trivia, wordplay and pantomime. Visit www.ElTacodor.com today to download instructions, a score card, and a challenge sheet for even more fun on Family Taco Night!

Visit Old El Paso for news and great tips, recipes and more. Take a minute to share family fiesta photos and videos from Family Taco Nights on the El Tacodor Family Spotlight!

SAVE: Click here for a 60 cents off coupon for any two Old El Paso products!


WIN IT:  Thanks to Old El Paso and My Blog Spark, you have a chance to win an Old El Paso “Family Taco Night” prize pack which includes a packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, a Cactus Chip & Dip Serving dish, a set of 3 Fiesta Chili Pepper serving dishes and a $10 gift card to purchase your taco fixings.

Take my word on it, these are SO cute! We used the Chili Pepper serving dishes for the lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded Mexican cheese, and the Cactus Chip & Dip tray for a vegetarian nacho dip (Not-So-Bebe Girl Autumn is vegetarian).  EVERYone (including the grandbebes who were visiting that day) had a blast and the kids just giggled about the "pepper dishes"! 

MANDATORY ENTRY:   Which night of the week are YOU going to make "Family Taco Night"?
