I will admit it. I am a lazy cook. I don’t love cooking. In fact, some days I flat out hate it. Some days, I want to look at my family and say, “Find something to feed yourself” but since I have a two year old who would literally sit down and eat nothing but marshmallows and chocolate milk if I told her that, I have to cook for my family. Sigh… such is the life of a mom, right? Thankfully, I have a few recipes tucked away for such occasions as these (sometimes that is every freaking day). One of those recipes is my 5 minute Navajo Taco recipe. Yep, I said FIVE minute Navajo Taco recipe. It is easy, delicious, and you won’t even have to stop watching Netflix on your iPad while you make it. Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this. I watch Netflix all. day. long. While I am doing household chores of course!

Anyways, on with the Navajo Tacos. When we were first married, I had no idea what to make for our dinners. I asked Dave what some of his favorite meals were and on the top of his list? Navajo Tacos. I had never had a Navajo Taco before in my entire life. The only place I had ever even seen them was at the fair. I did a quick Google search to see what was typically on a Navajo Taco and I created my own version. Now, before we get deep into the recipe, keep in mind that this meal does in fact only take 5 minutes to cook, but you will have to take the dough out of the freezer to thaw earlier on in the day. Make sure to take the dough out in the morning or around lunchtime so it has plenty of time to thaw. If you don’t think about it, it isn’t the end of the world. If you forget to take the dough out of the freezer early enough in the day, you can put the dough in the microwave and microwave it in 30 second increments until the dough is thawed out.

I hope that you love this recipe as much as we do! My husband has even given me the compliment of saying that these Navajo Tacos are just as good as the ones he gets at his grandpa’s restaurant. I guarantee they spend more than 5 minutes on theirs!
