So this is my dollar tree dinner, and I decided to make baked shrimp tacos. The inspiration came from my daughter Izzy who made us Carnitas not too long ago and she baked the shells, and they were so so good. So I thought that would be a great idea for this next dinner idea.

They turned out pretty good. I think next time I’m not going to get the egg rolls because it does add quite a bit of money to the total for making dinner. And I thought that the inside of the eggrolls were shredded veggies, but it was more like chopped and so my vision was a little bit off because of that. So I think I’m gonna stick with just the frozen veggies. I really would love to see dollar tree start having more fresh veggies and fruits which maybe that might be something in the future. But this was super easy and I’m excited to do my next dollar tree dinner for our big family.

Everybody really liked the shrimp tacos. Even my husband said they were better than my first stirfry that I did. He just didn’t like me adding the eggroll shells because they were kind of mushy so I think next time if I ever do that, I’m going to air fry the shells and then when they make their dinner, they can just sprinkle on top. But these were really really good, I am missing the cheese, so I think next time I’m gonna look for some cheese to sprinkle on top.

So just a couple tips when you make these is you are going to have to cook your veggies a little bit because they’re frozen they do police a lot of water and you might have to drain a little bit of that water out but it does cook up nice and evaporates a lot of that. With the shells they were really good, but I didn’t drain my black beans enough and saw the bottoms were kind of soggy. Then looking back at Izzy’s taco, she made she actually use the hard shell tacos and so I would recommend getting one or two boxes of the hard shell tacos instead and that way the bottoms won’t fall apart. But they were really good. My kids had three and four of them. I know they didn’t look too good, but they were absolutely amazing.

This is quite a challenge for me to cook for a big family with nothing but things that are at the dollar tree, but as I watch the videos myself, I’m noticing other products on the shelf so it gives me ideas for the next meal. I’m gonna be out of town for a little bit so look for that third dollar tree dinner for our big family next week
