El Tacodor - Taco Night Can Be Fun AND Healthy!

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 by Dea.

Taco night can be a fun and healthy way to have a family dinner together and spark laughter and conversation at the same time.

Through a site I belong to, MyBlogSpark, I received information about Old El Paso’s new game, El Tacodor.  I received a fun pack of coupons and the game play materials, and I used them to have Taco Night with my family.

To make the tacos healthier, I mixed ground turkey and ground beef, and I drained the meat of as much fat as possible by placing it in a wire strainer after cooking and squeezing it out.  It’s amazing how much fat came out!!!  I also purchased fat free sour cream and low fat cheese to serve.  And of course, salsa and fat free refried black beans!!

The game was fun.  There are 5 categories, and the game play reminded me of a simpler version of Cranium - acting things out, trying to list as many movies as possible in a minute, etc.  We got a little silly, and enjoyed an extremely tasty taco dinner with Old El Paso products.

In addition to all of this - I have a prize pack I can give away!!!  Prize pack includes (2) two coupons to purchase Old El Paso dinner kits, and a $10 gift card to purchase any additional meal needs (i.e. meat, cheese, lettuce, etc.) and information about the El Tacodor game, all courtesy of Old El Paso!  Anyone interested in trying out a taco game night with your friends or family, leave me a comment with your favorite taco topping, or your trick for making tacos healthier!  Earn another entry by mentioning this contest to your friends on Facebook (link me to your post in the comments).  If you blog, earn yet another entry by linking this post in a blog (again, link me to the post in the comments).  Deadline for this contest is on Wednesday, November 11, 2009, at 5 pm!!  So give me some great ideas, and we’ll have a random drawing for our winner.
