We love tacos 'round here. We love most any kind of Mexican food as I've said before.
I have to admit, I usually cheat and use the ole taco seasoning packet to season the beef, but I decided to branch out. I know that stuff has so much salt in it among other bad things I am sure.
I found a great taco recipe from Paula Deen that was perfect for what I wanted!
Here is what you'll need:
-1 Lb. ground beef
-1/4-1/2 onion, finely chopped
-1/2 jalapeno, ribbed and seeded, minced, opt.
-1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
-2 Tbl. fresh cilantro, minced
-1 Tbl. ground cumin
-1 tsp. garlic powder
-1 tsp. chipotle chili powder
-juice of 1 lime
-salt and pepper
-taco shells
-shredded cheese
-black beans
-sour cream
Preparation:
Brown ground beef in a large skillet; add onion and jalapeno and saute a few minutes or until tender. Add tomato sauce, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and fresh lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. If mixture starts to look too dry, add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of water and stir to combine. Serve in crunchy or soft taco shells with shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream and lettuce and more chopped cilantro, if desired. Yield 8-10 tacos.
These were so good and my husband LOVED them!
I love these taco shells that are flat on the bottom.
The cilantro was a nice touch :)
We added the black beans and served these up with chips and salsa.
Try these out instead of the taco seasoning packet and you'll never go back!
