Oh, my goodness! I am so excited to share this recipe! This is one of those meals that I was making because I knew it was healthy, but I wasn’t expecting it to taste too great. I was fairly certain most of my children wouldn’t like it too well, either. I made it anyway, deciding that Todd and I would have healthy leftovers for lunches and the kids would have tried something new. I told everyone they had to at least try a few bites before deciding they didn’t want any. We are following our Advent wreath/Jesse Tree tradition every night, and we often enjoy hot chocolate while we are reading the evening’s installment, so I told the kids they had to eat at least one taco in order to be allowed to have some hot chocolate. So, bribe in place, we dug in. Most everyone was pleasantly surprised! This meal was so delicious! Something about the spices and texture was very pleasing, and we all really enjoyed it. I doubled this, and we had a little leftover for lunches.
