The photo says it all! Last night was a night for tacos! I love entertaining and cooking up a nice meal for friends! After setting the table, cutting up some veggies and toppings, cooking our meat...we were able to sit down and enjoy a delicious meal!
What you need:
- friends/family..anyone, but know you are cooking a lot more than for one...
- Flour tortillas or hard shells for the tacos (I prefer to use whole grain tortillas)
- 1 pkg. McCormick Seasoning mix (or make your own! see recipe below)
- 400g of ground beef OR turkey
-3/4 cup water
Directions:
1. Brown the meat in a large skillet on medium-high heat
2. Stir in seasoning mix and water
3. Bring to boil. reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes
Serve directly onto tortillas or into a bowl for everyone to make their own!
When the meat looks like this...its ready! You will smell it too!
Homemade Seasoning Mix:
- 1 tbs chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Directions:
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together.
Store in a container for later use.
Chop up some lettuce for toppings!
Other good toppings:
- Corn
- Tomatos
- Avocado
- Cheese
Nachos are always good to have for a mexican themed meal!
Especially when you have some fresh salsa or guacamole for dipping!
