After taking a bit of a hiatus since having my baby, I got back onto the Plated band wagon! Right after I had my baby, I had my Mom here cooking for me, I had friends bringing me dinners and I had a freezer full of healthy, ready made dishes. Well, now that I’ve had a little time to grow accustomed to my new life/sleep schedule, I’m slowly integrating my old habits back in. Enter: Plated!
If you’re new to my blog, Plated is a food delivery service; basically ready-to-make- recipes in a box! You pick what meals you want to get delivered and all the fresh ingredients in the exact right proportions show up at your door a few days later. It’s been really convenient for me and my family, especially now that grocery shopping means carting THREE kids around the store {yikes!} so I share our favorite meals we enjoy. We love tacos in this household, so whenever we see something new or interesting all wrapped up in a taco, it goes on the must try list. These Asian Beef Tacos looked amazing on the website, so I ordered it along with a few others! Here are some of the photos I snapped from the process.
If you’d like to try the Plated service use this link here! {Or feel free to recreate this recipe at home!} And you can check out what’s on the menu for this week to see if anything looks good.
Overall thoughts from this meal: Gordon loved them. Brooke {who hates peppers of any kind} said “there are peanuts in these tacos?” and completely forgot about the peppers, I thought they were good and had a nice sweet and spicy balance. Blake ate….the tortilla. We’re working on expanding his little 2 year old palate 🙂
Anyways, here’s the recipe incase you wanted to try it yourself OR feel free to order a box yourself.

These tacos have become a frequent dinner for me! Super easy to make and so flavorful!
I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical when I saw this recipe, I mean who would combine Asian food with Mexican food, but then I thought, why not, I love them both. I’m really glad I did, these are fabulous! Thank you for this recipe and all your other wonderful recipes!!
Congrats on your new baby boy, Eddie.
Oh what great timing for me to see this review! I have a Plated box coming today and this is one of the dinners I ordered (my part of the country must be on a different menu schedule!:) So glad to hear these are as good as I hoped they would be. Thank you!! (BTW your children are adorable! 🙂
This is definitely a must make recipe. It looks really good. Thank you!
