It is that time of year again. Time for LOTS of football games! My husband always enjoys telling me how many games are on TV this week. “Honey, there are only 256 games on this week!” If he could, he would watch them all!
For me game day is all about the food! Tex-Mex is one of our favorite cuisines and goes perfectly with football. For the recent game, I made these Beef Enchilada Taco Boats with Old El Paso™ Soft Tortilla Taco Boats filled with a Michelob Ultra® beef enchilada filling! Delish!!!
I’m so happy I used the Old El Paso™ Soft Tortilla Taco Boats for the Beef Enchilada Taco Boats because:
- The taco boats are baked not fried.
- There’s no need to get out the taco stands.
- The filling stays in the boat and does not fall out of the taco.
- They hold more filling than a standard taco. Yay!!
- They are so darn cute!
To make the beef enchilada filling extra special I added Michelob Ultra® to the vegetables in the Beef Enchilada Taco Boats to give them that extra smooth flavor.
To the beef enchilada filling, I added in some taco seasoning and enchilada sauce (I recommend Old El Paso™) and simmered so the flavors came together beautifully.
To assemble the Beef Enchilada Taco Boats, I removed the Old El Paso™ Soft Tortilla Taco Boats from the package, and added the beef enchilada filling into each boat.
Then I let each person garnish their own Beef Enchilada Taco Boat with their favorite toppings, such as sour cream, chopped tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, avocados, etc.
