Easy and tastey. I put the meat together with the spices, adding a bit of cumin and cayenne and some chopped up jalopenos as we like spice. Then I cooked it all out side in a cast iron fry pay on my gas grill. Used flour tortillas, toasting them for a minute or so on the grill, then served it all "do it yourself" style. A great summer meal.

These are the best!! No more trouble than the usual way and so much better! I doubled the recipe , cause we love tacos so much. It was a good thing I did. I don't think there would have been enough! I fed 6, and we devoured all of it!! Will be using this recipe a lot. Thanks John!

Whipped these up tonight for a quick little supper. They turned out great! I'm sure I'll make again. They are quick and easy. Thanks!

Put an end to all dine-out mexican eating taco restaurants.My all time favorite mexican restaurant is El Maguey and I am a die-hard 3 day week fan. These tacos have put an end to those frequent flyer visits for these tacos are "bestest"ever.And believe me I have tried them all. The only thing I eliminated was the sour cream and for the cheese I used the Italian 3 mixed bagged which made the flavor identical to the restaurant. The funny thing is that the tacos taste 10 times better after the meat had been refrigerated and used for tacos again the next day.(told you i am a die hard)My pocket book thanks you!!!

These were very tasty, and everyone seemed to enjoy them alot. I added a little hot sauce to the meat mixture for some added heat, and also topped them with Taco Sauce as well as the lettuce, tomato, cheese and some diced red onions. Very good taco's and I have put this in my cookbook as well. Nice job.

I made this for our Christmas party and it was a hit! It's easy to prepare and very delicious. I wasn't able to find onion flakes and onion powder in the grocery I went to, so I doubled the quantity of chopped onions instead. thank you!

These were very good and very simple to put together. I followed the recipe as is. I still just kind of missed the "taco" flavour. Still good and well worth doing again though.

This is a really good recipe. It is exactly what you would get from a mexican restaraunt. I used to chop the hamburger up in the food processor to break up the big chunks but with this recipe you dont have to the flour makes it break up even better! If your cooking for more that 2 or 3 you'll probably want to double the recipe.

John this is unreal! I've been making tacos for the longest time and have always been trying to find a different or better way. My search is over. I was doubtful when I read to mix the dry ingredients into the hamburger meat, but it works! The meat breaks up just fine and has wonderful taste. I did add some ground cumin (personal taste 1 tsp.) My son ate 6! I had hoped there would be leftovers (I did triple the recipe!), but alas it will have to wait until I fix these again. Yes, we will have these often. Thanks for posting a great recipe.

So I have the PICKIEST fiance ever. Literally. He hasn't cooked at all since we've been together... until now. He wanted to show me that he could cook so he picked this recipe out to make. He loved it so hopefully we'll save money by making these at home more often!
