Simple Weeknight Dinner – Taco Night Made Easy
Thank you Albertons for sponsoring this post. Check out the new Signature family of brands from Albertsons and Vons with more than 4,000 Signature products available and a 100% money-back guarantee.
For my kids there’s a few dinners that I know everyone is going to enjoy. Tacos is one of our daily favorites and we eat different variations every week. When I think of taco dinners on a weeknight I know everyone will smile and leave the table full, and it’s these mealtime moments that I enjoy creating with our kids.
We want to give our family the best quality food but also stay within our family budget. Shopping at Vons and Albertsons I know that we can find everything we need for our family. From lunch box staples, to everyday items like milk and paper towels the Signature line, available exclusively at Vons, includes more than 4,000 items. From coffee to juice, soup to cereal, fresh produce to fried chicken, and delicious prepared foods to trusted home staples – all with a 100% money back guarantee.
For our family this means easily finding everything we need for our favorite weeknight dinner, tacos. Using simple ingriedients like fire roasted tomatoes can add a lot of flavor to your meals, for me it’s just an extra way I like to sneak in extra vegetables.
Add some well seasoned beef and black beans and you have a delicious taco. It’s really simple if you like a hard crunchy taco shell to fry your own.
My kids are busy, and by busy I mean after they come home form school mom’s taxi peels out of the driveway to take them to their various after school activities. We make it a priority to come together at the dinner table and it’s even better when I don’t have to make a complicated dinner to please everyone.
Albertsons wants to invite shoppers to join in the conversation by sharing your own Signature stories, photos and videos online using #MySignatureMoments.

Tacos are such a fun dinner for the whole family.
We don’t have a taco night in our house, but I’m thinking we should because I really like tacos!
I could eat tacos every day.
I’d like to try the diced fire roasted tomatoes, because they look like they would be a great addition to so many of my recipes.
diced fire roasted tomatoes. I use a lot of canned tomatoes in my recipes
We don’t have Vons but we do have an Albertsons here in town.
Thanks for the contest.
I would love to try their staple items including paper towels, toilet paper, and milk.

I’d love to try the fire roasted tomatoes in my tacos and maybe in a salad too or a stew! It seems liek a very versatile, flavorful and nutritious ingredient!
diced fire roasted tomatoes–I always see these cans in the stores but have yet to try them, think I will soon!
I need to try those tomatoes stat! The shells look amazing too!
Tacos are an easy meal here, too. We also do spaghetti, mac & cheese, and burgers for easy nights.
Great ideas here. Tacos have always been a favorite for my kids at our house and we usually have them once a week.
I like the fire roasted tomatoes.
Family dinner is such an important time and I agree that tacos are a great way to please everyone without a lot of extra cooking. Great idea for a busy night.
I am looking forward to trying those fire roasted tomatoes. I bet they give a real kick to your Mexican dishes!
My favorite type of tacos are the chicken soft tacos.
Thanks for the helpful tips you posted here.
Taco nights are a yummy idea. I like that you can add healthy ingredients and make yourself.
We definitely go through paper towels like no tomorrow!
Yum tacos. They sound good. I’ll be putting them on my shopping list for the week.
I like the fire roasted tomatoes.
TAco night happens once a week at our house. I have never made my own guacamole and would like to try that.
These look so good i wish i could have some right now. I will have to get the ingredients i need to make this recipe.
Tacos are a great meal to make on busy nights. I will have to try this recipe this week. My kids will love it.
Taco night is a popular day of the week in our house. I will have to try this recipe next week.
No matter how simple, having dinner together is so important. We’d love tacos any night!
The words ‘tacos’ and ‘easy’ in one sentence is music to my ears. Love how you have a slice of avocado on the side – I eat my avocados straight-up as well!

Taco night is always a hit at our house! I like to serve foods that my family enjoys because I think family meals are so important.
I think it is important – even with our busy schedules – to have family dinners. Tacos are one of our go to meals because they are quick, easy and all of my boys love them. I am glad I am not the only mom peeling out of the driveway for my taxi driver duties!
We shop at Vons often. They have an excellent selection of organic, vegan and gluten-free products. They were also the second big market to ever open in my valley over 35 years ago!
I love having taco night. It’s easy to do because everyone gets to make them just the way they’d like them. That means nobody has to be picky!
YUM! Am I crazy because I never thought about putting romaine in my tacos? That will be the ONLY type of lettuce I use now! GREAT idea
We do taco salad a lot because it’s straight forward and simple. Plus, it’s delicious!
We were just thinking about making tacos today since it is Cinco de Mayo! We love tacos on busy nights!
Yummy! We love Taco nights here as well. Those taco shells look so good!
We have taco night at least once a week! I need to try those tomatoes, they look delicious!
Three nights a week my kids have some sort of practice and we don’t get home until after 7pm. The crock pot is my savior. It’s ready when we get home and I make sure to use the liners so I don’t have to scrub it clean, just wash it normally.
Von’s sounds like a great store. Their products look great, and it sounds like they have a huge selection. I wish we had them around us. I’m not super thrilled with my current store.
My family loves taco Tuesday. We’re also big fans of Friday night movie junk food marathons.
I do most of my shopping at Safeway (the Von’s equivalent in my area). I love the high quality of their meat and produce.
It’s funny that I read this today because the night before last we cannot think of anything to eat so we came up with tacos because it is so easy. We never use guacamole that we should because it looks delicious.
