Here at A Couple Cooks, we love fast and easy dinner recipes! Here are some of our favorite seriously fast recipes and collections:
The format: a taco. We often make tacos or quesadillas as weeknight dinners, and they’re a good format for quick and easy dinners. The filling: a taco-spiced scramble. The taco-spiced eggs from our veggie burrito bowl consistently get rave reviews. Adding cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder to scrambled eggs and cooking them on low heat forms a meaty substance that we make often. So why not use them as a taco filling? The verdict: so good. We whipped up a batch and served our 5-minute tacos to my sister. Her response: “Whoa. These are SO good.” Yep, they’re one of the best vegetarian recipes we’ve made.
A quick chef who’s confident in the kitchen. No toddlers interrupting things! Memorizing the recipe before you start. We’ve made it easy to memorize using ½ tablespoon of all the spices and olive oil.
Depending on your environment, it may take you between 5 and 10 minutes to finish this recipe. But either way: it’s one of the quickest dinner ideas you’ll make.

Luckily, there’s an invention for this problem that’s inexpensive and does the trick: a tortilla warmer! It’s an insulated pouch traps in the heat and keeps them perfectly heated. You definitely don’t need it for this recipe, but we like having one around our household at the rate we eat tacos around here!
