    You can find simmer sauce in myriad varieties in most regular grocery stores, and they're so great to have stocked in your pantry for throwing together a last minute dinner.  This post isn't so much a recipe post as it is an idea post, since there's a million different ways you can use these sauces.  This time, I made tacos!

    What you add to these tacos depends on what type of simmer sauce you use.  I used a harissa and roasted red pepper variety, cooked it up with some ground chicken, and topped warm corn tortillas with baby spinach and hummus - delish!  And this is a dinner that takes literally no time.  Cook the chicken, add the sauce, done!

    How do you like to use simmer sauces?  Let me know!  Enjoy!
