Super easy recipe to make delicious beef tacos. Tangy and savory with just the right amount of cumin. Pretty mild but if you like it spicy, feel free to add more cayenne pepper to kick it up a notch.
Taco Seasoning:
1 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
3/4 teaspoon Cayenne
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
(borrowed heavily from Bill Echols on allrecipes.com)
Taco Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
tortillas (flour or corn, I prefer corn but you can be a gringo and use flour)
Suggested Toppings:
Shredded Lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Shredded Cheese
Salsa
Sour Cream
Directions:
1. Brown ground meat, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks. Drain off grease
2. Add spices to meat and stir carefully
3. Add taco meat and toppings to softened tortillas
4. Enjoy
Like I said before, very simple recipe that can be prepared in 15 minutes or less. Goes well with Spanish rice and beans. Next week I'll post some more of my favorite tex-mex recipes.
