Mission Flour Tortillas~ Great Dinner Ideas and a Kitchen Makeover Cook-Off Contest!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Mission Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.
Our family loves Tex-Mex food, whether it be tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, etc. The truth is, most kids love them, and they are often a party favorite. I'm not sure if it's because they taste great, or because it's a lot of fun to make your own fajitas, but put out some warm tortillas, chicken or beef, and fresh toppings, and children have a blast making their meal.


Mission Flour tortillas are a great choice for Tex-Mex night in your home, because they taste fresh, are soft, and there are many different options and sizes: white corn, yellow corn, homestyle, whole wheat, in 6", 8", or 10" size, and more (and all have 0 grams trans fat per serving and are cholesteral free). In the past I've tried their crunchy taco shells (I love hard tacos!) but since my husband likes wraps, I've been trying out different types. His favorite is grilled chicken, mozzarella, and peppers in a soft tortilla shell with ranch dressing, while I love chicken topped with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Now that I think about it, I know what I'm making July 4th for our family bbq. I have no doubt fajitas will be an unexpected and most welcome surprise!

Mission Menus offers great budget-friendly meals that are easy to make for your family and will be a hit with the kids. These meals cost less than $10 for the whole family (average family of five), are healthy, and really delicious. You can visit for ideas, or even submit your own favorite recipes, especially now that they are offering a terrific contest. Mission Foods, a supporter of Share Our Strength (the leading national organization committed to ending childhood hunger in America), is kicking off the summer with the Mission Menus Challenge- starting June 28, 2010, fans of delicious Mission Food products can submit a budget-friendly recipe for a chance to compete in a cook-off in Los Angeles and win a $10,000 dream kitchem makeover! The grand prize winner will win round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations for two to the Mission Menus Challenge Cook-off on September 10, 2010 at the Hard Rock Café in Los Angeles. Entrants have until August 9th to submit recipes online (Hey, you never know...your family's favorite meal may be the winner). Recipes must me original, include Mission Flour Tortillas, and be able to feed a family of five for $10 or less (like the recipes on their site).

Whether or not you enter (though why wouldn't you? A kitchen makeover!), visit their site next time you want to make a great family dinner for new ideas. We love grilled chicken sometimes, other times we like ground beef, and their site offers different recipes for these and more, all with Mission Flour Tortillas, Taco Shells, or Wraps (did you know their wraps come in jalapeno cheddar, garden spinach herb, and
zesty garlic flavors? I didn't until I perused their site for recipes). It will be a yummy treat for your family dinner.
