Quick, easy, healthy, and kids love it -- this recipe checks all the boxes, and it makes a perfect weeknight dinner. It only takes about 10 minutes to prep, and all cooking takes place in the oven, which means I can catch up with the kids or enjoy a margarita with my husband while it’s cooking. Then all I have to do is set up the toppings and taco shells on the table. The kids love to assemble them!
