Review and Giveaway: Old El Paso (Closed)


 *Giveaway Has Ended*

by Trish Deitemyer

My family loves tacos; in fact, taco dinner is in our weekly rotation.  So when I was offered a chance to review Old El Paso’s family taco night, I said, ¡Sí, por favor!”   
I was sent a packet of Old El Paso seasoning mix, an adorable cactus-shaped chip and dip dish and 3 chili pepper-shaped dishes.  They also gave me a $10 gift card to buy all the other taco night necessary ingredients.  I picked up some ground turkey, taco shells, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and shredded Colby-jack cheese and went to town!   
Old El Paso taco night was a huge hit at my house.  It was super easy and quick to make and, most importantly for me, gluten free.  Lots of other seasoning mixes have some form of gluten in them; I was very happy to see that Old El Paso Taco Seasoning did not.  So I was able to enjoy the meal and the evening afterwards! 😉  Old El Paso will definitely be my go-to taco seasoning mix from now on.  ¡Muy delicioso!

    ‘Cause I like South of the border themed meals. Tacos served with cold Mexican beer for the adults, and Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass on the stereo for the whole family. Ole!

    Making tacos is so much fun. Everyone gets chop and dice. We have a buffet style meal. Round and round the table piling on our favorites of lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream and other things that everyone can think of. Soft shell taco, hard shell and all the fillings.
    These plates would just add and decorate a fun night eating and family and friends.
