Taco Tuesday Protein Bowl

August 16, 2022 Uncategorized

We are officially back into a new school season, and you know exactly what that means–it is time to get back into our routines. It is also time to use different practices to help keep the family on track and to lower the risk of Mom and Dad going through burnout during the new school year. One thing that I have found to be a major time saver is to prepare meals for dinner that can also be used for lunch throughout the week. In this post, I am going to show you how I do that by using the leftovers from our Taco Tuesday dinner to make an easy Protein Bowl.

This delicious recipe and recommendations are brought to you in partnership with ALDI. Thank you for supporting the brands that support RosalynnDaniels.com.

As you know, I prefer to shop at ALDI especially when it comes to getting back into our routines. They have such a large variety of food options at prices that just simply will not break the bank. In fact, ALDI has ranked number one in food cost for 5 years straight, and I’m glad that I know why. I also enjoy finding the cutest items in the ALDI Finds section. For instance, last week I found the letter boards for the kids to use for back to school. That’s also where you’ll find the Crofton products that I’m always talking about. ALDI is a one stop shop that will give you peace of mind when planning your back to school menus and activities.


First thing’s first… Grab the proper Taco Tuesday Ingredients

When gathering your items for Taco Tuesday’s dinner, you must head to ALDI for all of your grocery needs. And believe me, they have everything you would want at some incredible prices. With food cost increasing daily, I find that ALDI helps me to stay on track with my food budget without sacrificing quality.

How to prepare your meat for Taco Tuesday

In a skillet cook ground beef until done.

Pour in one taco seasoning packet to your cooked meat and mix until fully combined.

To cook your steak, first you want to generously season it with salt and pepper. About 1-2tsp of each. Be sure to season all sides. Grill or cook steak in a hot skillet until its internal temperature reaches 150f. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve taco meat and steak along with lettuce, tomato, cheese, corn, black beans, etc. in a food bar-like manner.

When setting up my Taco Tuesday Bar, I like to place most of the items in my favorite Crofton Glass Containers (also from ALDI), so that when everyone is done eating, I can just pop the lid on them and place them in the fridge for later. But before I put everything back, I use the leftovers to make protein bowls that I can have for lunch later in the week. Doing this, allows me to truly use all of the food that I cooked, and it’s one less thing to think about in the middle of a busy work week. (Your protein bowl can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.)

Protein Bowl Ingredients

When making your protein bowls, just keep in mind that you are using the leftovers from Taco Tuesday’s dinner, so everything should already be cooked and ready to go. I like to use either meal prep containers or my Crofton storage bowls to store my protein bowls as well.

  • Black Angus Choice Top Sirloin Steak or Simply Nature 100% Grass Fed Ground Beef
  • Simply Nature Organic 90 Second Quinoa & Brown Rice
  • Lettuce, torn
  • Dakota’s Pride Black Beans
  • Tomato, diced
  • Happy Farms Mild Cheddar Cheese, shredded

So, as you enter the new school year, I challenge you to incorporate these Taco Tuesday Protein Bowls into your meal planning at least twice a month. You will see how it’s a simple way to make sure you stay on track with your back to school routine. If you want to make it affordable, then make sure you head to ALDI. Grab some back to school snacks while you’re there. Some of my kids favorites are the Southern Grove Nuts and Never Any! Lunch Kits.
