CLOSED - Old El Paso taco review and giveaway

I was contacted by My Blog Spark and asked if I wanted to do a giveaway for Old El Paso. I of course said yes! My family loves taco night and it's a quick and easy dinner.

We received a package including a cactus bowl, 1 pepper tray (yours will hopefully have 3 as pictured above), a packet of Taco seasoning and a $10 gift card to get ingredients. I was also given the following information:

To satisfy your Mexican style cravings, the Old El Paso® line up of products includes chilies, dinner kits, dips and sides, enchilada sauce, refried beans, seasoning mixes, shells, taco sauce and salsa.

The Old El Paso taco seasoning mix selection includes flavors like Burrito, Cheesy Taco, Chili, Fajita, Taco, Mild Taco and even a seasoning with 40% less sodium. For a fun twist on Taco Night, be sure to try one of the delicious recipes below.


Double Layer Tacos : Old El Paso Favorite Recipe! Layered taco shells and tortillas create the "double" in beef- and bean-stuffed tacos.

Chicken Ranch Tacos: Need a new idea for a 30-minute dinner? Here's a twist on ta cos using precooked chicken. (I have made something similar to these and I would highly recommending trying this recipe.)

I was not at all impressed with the flimsy pepper trays and the salsa cup in the middle of the cactus was very small, but the food was delicious. We got 2 kinds of dinner kits - stand and stuff and soft taco. My husband thought the meat seasoning was very tasty and everyone thought the food was absolutely wonderful! Most liked the stand and stuff tacos because they were easier to make and we will definitely be purchasing these again! My 2 year old really enjoyed her soft tacos ;-) I am partial to soft tacos myself. I do not really like the crunchy ones like my husband and older kids do. I have used the Medium Taco Sauce on some other dishes like eggs and pizza and I have to admit that the taco sauce is one of my favorites! I have a thing for hot sauces.
