If you are looking for a easy recipe to make for dinner tonight…this is it! This is another one of my FAMILY FAVORITE!
Giant Taco Roll
Ingredients:
5 cups shreded Mexican cheese blend
20 mini corn tortillas (about 4-inches round)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 ounces chorizo
1/2 package of taco seasoning
1 tablespoon tomato paste
one 15-ounce can refried beans
1 cup pico de gallo, drained, plus extra for serving
Guacamole and sour cream, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 18 by 13 inch pan with parchment.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the cheese evenly over the parchment. Arrange the tortillas to fill the pan in rows of 4 so that they are overlapping. Sprinkle another 1 1/2 cups of cheese on top and bake until the cheese is slightly dry and not greasy, but not yet brown, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chorizo and taco seasoning and cook, stirring and breaking up any clumps until brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and 1/4 cup water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
- Spread the refried beans on top of the tortillas, leaving a 1 inch border on the 2 short ends.
- Spoon the chorizo evenly over the beans, followed by pico de gallo. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of cheese on top.
- Starting at the short end, use the parchment to help you tightly roll up the taco.
- Return it to the oven and bake until hot trough and golden brown in parts, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Move roll on to a cutting board and slice with a bread knife.
- You can serve it with pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. Enjoy!!!
You are Dino-Mite! Happy Valentine
My latest and greatest craft idea came from That’s What Che Said blog site. It is a free printable design that you can download from the link below. This site also has a lot of different cute valentine printables to choose from. The plastic dinosaurs came from Freds. I used my hot glue gun to attach it to this cute card. Super Simple Idea!

The pocket dino bag and puppets machine embroidery design came from Sewing For Sarah website on Etsy. A combination of two designs to create this – Digital Download Pumpkin Truck Vintage Snap Pouch (make the bag) and Digital Dinosaur Finger Puppets Pocket tin Embroidery (make the design on the bag and the puppets.)
It is always fun to get something in the mail. My little nephews and niece are going to get a kick out of this.
Happy Valentine Care Packages
Photos of my Valentine care packages for my two boys. This year I made coffee mugs with photos from our 2018 Christmas. I used Shutterfly to make the mugs. I placed mug muffins, mug brownie, lots of snacks and candy also in their Valentine care packages. I hope that they will look at it and smile. Happy Valentine’s Day!
