Mock Tacos are perfect for a quick summer meal. We have these often for supper. Mock Tacos are simple and healthy. Shhhh. Don’t tell the kids!!!
This is a simple meal to get your kids in the kitchen and cooking. If you let them pick their own toppings, they learn more about food choices. If your kids prefer shredded chicken, you could make that another option as well.

This was a family favorite of my husbands when he grew up. I asked my mother in law why she named it Mock Tacos. She said when her daughters were in Girl Scouts, they would always request Girl Scout Tacos. Then, they called it Mock Tacos because it was everything but the shell.
Most of the ingredients can be made ahead of time. Topping choices will vary from family to family. I remember one of the first times my mother in law served it to me, we were on vacation in Minnesota.
My boys love it with shredded cheese only! Insert the mom eye roll!! I love how much yummy ingredients I can add - or pile up!
