Easy Weeknight Walking Tacos are fast, flexible and so kid-friendly! Each member of the family can assemble their own tacos, starting with the base of mildly seasoned ground beef and zucchini. We recommend toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, salsa and cheese – but you can incorporate other favorites like black beans, corn, onions or jalapeños. Package these tacos for lunch or dinner on the go or enjoy them at home. They’re equally yummy either way!
