When it comes to weekly meal planning, we almost always have a taco-esc themed dinner night. So, whether that’s oven baked tacos, taco salads, or taco stuffed sweet potatoes, I’m bringing out the lean Ground Beef, some taco seasoning, and lots of cheese. Because the boys will demand cheese melted on a mini-tortilla when they realize it’s taco night! If you haven’t already guessed it, these taco stuffed sweet potatoes were thoroughly enjoyed by Ted and I. The boys? Eh. Like I said, they wanted cheese melted on a tortilla [in the microwave--- so gourmet!]. Anthony had some of the beef and a few bites of my sweet potato. Joey? He definitely had his fair share of melted cheese. That doesn’t mean your two or three-year-old won’t like taco stuffed sweet potatoes. I’m just giving you a heads-up to have some tortillas on hand for those that want carbs from a tortilla vs. a sweet potato. Can you blame them?!](https://i2.wp.com/momtomomnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/IMG_3294-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683)
