One of my standbys when I was making dinner for friends in college was tacos. However, one of the first times I made tacos with a friend of mine she was surprised that I had a recipe that I put together for the taco meat. It may sound like a lot of trouble if you are used to making taco meat with a store packet, but trust me it’s simple, easy and delicious!

Ingredients

1 lb Ground Beef

Toppings:

Chopped Lettuce

Diced fresh Tomatoes

Shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese

Diced Red Onion

Sour Cream

Taco Sauce

Tortillas (I prefer Aztec brand)

Beef Seasoning

1 small can tomato sauce

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. paprika

½ tsp cumin

Shake of garlic

Shake of cayenne pepper

Directions

In a medium sized skillet on medium-high heat brown the meat. After the meat is cooked through, turn to low and add the beef seasoning. Leave meat on low while you cook tortillas and add meat and desired toppings.
