Ever needed a meal that you can take with you, but needs to be easy to eat, not needing to be heated and tasty? Sandwich buns are my favorite! You really can use lots of different fillings to make the tastiest sandwiches on the go! The best part is that you don’t even need a plate or napkin for these. So easy!

I love to make these for road trips, or if we’re trying to eat on the go. They’re even great for picnics! One of my favorite fillings is this taco variation! We eat lots of Tex-Mex in this house, and when looking for a lunch on the go that even my husband will eat, these are it!

The filling uses taco seasoning to flavor the meat, and my Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix is absolutely perfect for this! It’s the only taco seasoning I use since it’s so easy and we always have the ingredients on hand.

The best part is that the whole family loves these! Plus the fluffy sandwich bun itself is super filling, making it great for my hungry family.

So if you’re looking for a great meal on the go, try out these Taco Sandwich Buns. I’m sure your family will love them!
