This is how we enjoy tacos! You can use my Taco Seasoning - Great Texmex Seasoning for Tacos, Burritos Etc., 166030. I am very bad about measuring and recording exact amounts. Needless to say, I am very nervous about making this recipe public. Please taste the finished product and adjust to your liking.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Toppings

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook meat, onion, garlic and cilantro stirring often til meat is no longer pink. Drain fat.
  2. 2
    Add seasoning and 3/4 cup water or beer to meat mixture and stir to blend. Only use beer if you like beer! lol You could also use half beer and half water. DH always comes in and adds a glug or two from his can behind my back so I never know exactly how much is in there! grrrr.
  3. 3
    Simmer til liquid has evaporated.
  4. 4
    Serve with desired toppings. Get creative! Use what you like!
  5. 5
    This can fill tortillas, corn or flour, or be used to top corn or tortilla chips. When I make this I make a taco salad on my plate, dd makes that or some tacos and dh always makes nachos putting only cheese on top and microwaving til the cheese is melty. To each his own! I get three different meals with one skillet! Happy mama!

LOVE this stuff. The beer adds a wonderful dimension to the flavor. We are having hard shell tacos this evening garnished with refried beans, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and salsa. Can't wait. Made for ZWT4.

    I loved this. I would have never thought of putting beer instead of water. I tasted as is and it was great. We like beans added to our filling, so I added a can of refried beans to the mix and it was great that way too.
