If you are looking for a kid-friendly meal that parents enjoy too, you will score big with a healthy taco salad. Taco salad night is a major hit with my kids, and they always light up and thank me! Just saying “Taco Tuesday” makes everyone cheer (even on “Taco Tuesday-Friday,” my kids are weird and get excited over the little things- like alliteration…) It’s one of the few nights that no one complains.
When I’m in a rush, nothing beats this crowd-pleaser. I love it because it’s quick and easy, and the clean-up is a breeze. I can even pull this one off with ease if I forgot to thaw ahead of time. (Thank you Instant Pot).
I also just love anything resembling a Mexican dish, and I can have lots of fun with this one on my own plate. While my kids and husband get the more bland versions of this kid-friendly meal, I can jazz mine up with salsa verde, sour cream, black beans, or any other dressings and garnishes. 
If you use fresh organic ingredients, you can feel pretty good about a healthy meal in a zip.
(see my post, Why You Should Choose Organic)
