Tacos are often an easy lunch or supper when the schedule doesn't allow too much time in the kitchen. My family often refers to Tuesday as Taco Tuesday just because they know the menu will be quick and easy to meet my need to get to a meeting on time. Midwest Dairy's Touchdown Taco Salad offers a nutritious and tasty variation for our Taco Tuesday schedule.
