I usually cook everything from scratch when I make dinner, but I saw the Ortega Taco Kit at the commissary for under $2.00, so I had to take a chance and try something new. Since all I needed to buy was ground beef and taco toppings, I thought it would be worth buying even if it sucked.

The Ortega Taco Kit makes 12 tacos and includes the following:

Ortega taco seasoning packet
Packet of Ortega Taco Sauce
12 crunchy taco shells

I liked how easy this kit made it to prepare crunchy tacos. Simply brown ground beef with the taco seasoning packet and bake taco shells to get them crispy. Then top with your favorite taco ingredients. I added shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese.

I thought the ground beef tasted great. It was well seasoned and flavorful. The Ortega Taco Sauce was too mild for my liking. My husband and I like spicy food and this taco sauce didn't have enough flavor for us. The shells were good and we didn't think they needed to be baked to be good. We liked them right out of the package.

Overall, the Ortega Taco Kit was very convenient. It was nice to have everything you need in one box, and even nicer that it is so inexpensive. I would buy it again and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys crunchy tacos, but doesn't want to take the time to prepare them from scratch.

Chicken is a great variation, especially since it's healthier than ground beef. Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to keep that in mind next time I buy it.

I've tried these before and also enjoyed them. They also work beautifully with chopped chicken breast meat. I love homemade tacos because you can put whatever you want on them, I always like extra chopped tomatoes and lettuce. You should see me order tacos at Mexican carry-out places, the poor guy ends up working for five minutes just piling on all the stuff I want!
