The Old El Paso product line includes all you need to put together a fiesta for your family: chilies, dinner kits, dips and sides, enchilada sauce, refried beans, seasoning mixes, shells, taco sauce and salsa. You'll also find Old El Paso recipes and sweepstakes information. Right now you can also print a coupon for $0.60 off two Old El Paso products.
And if that's not enough fun for you, check out El Tacodor, the world's only game for family taco night. Download and print the game materials, or try the web game. (I gave up when the second wave of beans started dancing!)

When we had a family taco night here, it was fun! Messy, but fun! I added a can of kidney beans to the meat mixture, instead of making a side of refried beans. I set up the taco shells and fillings in a "taco station," so everyone could make their own. (I would have added chopped tomatoes, but not at $3.99/pint!) We would definitely do this again, but next time I'd purchase the Old El Paso taco seasoning mix with 40% less sodium.
Thanks to Old El Paso, one lucky reader will win the same prize pack that I received. This prize includes a packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, a Cactus Chip & Dip Serving dish, a set of 3 Fiesta Chili Pepper serving dishes and a $10 gift card to purchase your taco fixings.
