Tools to Make Easy Taco Night Dinners

These are Amazon and Walmart affiliate links to some of my favorite kitchen tools and ingredients to help you prepare easy taco night dinners. I may earn commissions on qualifying purchases. You can read my affiliate disclosure here.

• ​Taco Holder Rack I LOVE these and I don't even own a Blackstone. They are oven-proof, with silicone grip handles and I can make up to six tacos at once in each of them. I don't have to worry about shells flopping over and spilling. And I can take them straight to the table. I own two and I am considering adding to the collection. lol They're great for setting up a taco bar.
• The Oven-Sized Air Fryer Rack I use multiple times a week for roasting and air frying in my convection oven. You'll never roast chickens or Cornish hens without one again, after you try this. And I definitely use it to make taco potatoes and Italian Chicken Cutlets!
• My 3rd Crock Pot - It's official. I've added a new member to the collection. I've apparently given away too many of my original crock pots, and lately I have found myself yearning for just one more to keep multiple recipes going at once. I mean what does a girl do when she is making refried beans, delectable southwest chicken and creamed corn all at the same time? lol This beauty is an 8-qt giant that can handle anything I throw at her. And she was cheap, as crock pots go.
• My Deep Dish 9x13 Ceramic Baking Pan is perfect for casseroles, Magic Cookie Bars, cakes and more.​
• ​The Pyrex ​Mixing Bowls I use daily. Of course, they're great for stirring together the ingredients for a recipe. But, they're also perfect for storing leftovers and even for serving things like this scrumptious Broccoli Cauliflower Salad. Another great feature is that they come with lids, so leftovers can easily go straight to the fridge.
• My 12" Cast Iron Skillet​ - It makes heavenly fried potatoes and is essential to almost every meal I make year-round. But, this is especially handy in the winter for comfort-food cooking. It can be used on the stovetop and in the oven, so it's incredibly versatile.
