Busy evenings need dinners that do not ask for a second wind at 6 p.m. This list pulls together 11 family weeknight dinners built around familiar fillings, fast toppings, crisp tortillas, buns, pizza crusts, and easy skillet work.
Beef Tacos
Ready in 30 minutes, Beef Tacos use 1 pound of lean ground beef, tomato paste, taco seasoning, and corn tortillas for an easy family dinner. The beef cooks in a skillet before getting spooned into warm tortillas with lettuce, tomatoes, Mexican cheese blend, and red onion.
Cheese Quesadilla
With butter, flour tortillas, and shredded mozzarella, Cheese Quesadilla comes together in 9 minutes and makes 2 servings. The tortillas warm in a pan, the cheese melts inside, and the whole thing gets sliced into quarters once the edges are crisp.
Chicken Salad Sandwich
Made with cooked chicken breast, dried cranberries, celery, green onions, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard, Chicken Salad Sandwich is ready in 15 minutes. The recipe makes 4 servings and gets tucked into burger buns with lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions.
Other Options
Other family weeknight dinner options include Chicken Taco, Neapolitan Pizza, Juicy Grilled Hot Dogs, Mushroom Tacos, Pork Chops, Street Steak Tacos, Tortilla Pizza, and Big Mac Sloppy Joe.
