Tacos are on my weekly family menu plan in one form or
another. The recipes vary to keep things fresh, but one thing is for sure- we
are a taco loving bunch! To celebrate National Taco day (today!) and taco
Tuesday, we made Shredded Chicken Verde tacos with refried beans and Spanish
style rice. Thanks to today’s sponsor, Uncle Ben’s, you too can serve up a
plate of tacos, beans and Spanish style rice quickly and if you upload a photo
of your rice dish, you could win 15 thousand dollars for you and your school a
30 thousand dollar cafeteria makeover!
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Uncle Ben’s. I received
information to facilitate my post as well as a promotional item(s) to
thank me for my participation.
Tacos and Rice- The perfect Dinner Combo:
Tacos don’t have to be boring if you think beyond the
traditional crunchy taco. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve served up plenty of the
crunchy ones, but if your kids say tacos again? when you tell them what’s for
dinner, it may be time to switch things up.
Try soft tacos, change the meat and
fillings, fix street inspired tacos like our shredded chicken Verde tacos. Another way to perk up your taco dinner plate
is to add a flavorful rice side. I jazzed up Spanish style rice with a can of chipotle
tomatoes for a bit of a kick. Next week,
I’m going to make Uncle Ben’s Baja Fish Tacos with rice.

Heavens I LOVE Taco's--the traditional kind. I have never attempted to make one at home. I do love Uncle Ben's and this would be a great way for me to make my own with one of those delicious varieties. I will be looking for them next time I go shopping!
Your tacos look so yummy along side Uncle Ben's. I make a version with less carbs and still yummy. We like different varieties of flavored rice. Rice goes well with so many meats and vegetables.
Your tacos look great! My favorite tacos lately are served at a little local restaurant on "Taco Tuesday"s. YUMMM .... I'm an Uncle Ben's fan as well and you've inspired me to look for them this morning when I head out to the store.
Hi Michelle,
You should make tacos at home! They are super easy and oh, so tasty. I love Uncle Ben's Rice and usually have some on hand for quick side dishes.
Hi Susan,
You can't beat taco Tuesday, whether it's at home out dining out. I'm glad to see we have several Uncle Ben's fans on the blog this week.
Hi Gladys,
Thank you very much. I love that tacos can be made to be very healthy yet still tasty. Rice is so in heavy rotation here at dinner time for sure.
