Simple ingredients like dinner rolls and ground beef, with the help of some Mexican condiments make some super fun Taco boats! Mid week dinners can be depressing to plan but this recipe will bring in the sunshine and the party! What I love about these are that they are portable and you can even take leftovers to school or work for a nice quick lunch.

 

Although I’ve used ground beef in my recipe, you can easily substitute this with ground Chicken or even Turkey! Chicken & Turkey is a bit more delicate, so I would reduce the salsa a bit to ensure that the filling is not too runny. This recipe uses regular dinner rolls, but gluten free versions can easily be substituted.
