Perfectly Seasoned Beef Tacos
Whether you like your tacos hard or soft, with the works or with minimal toppings, the real star in this traditional Mexican meal is the meat. Without a taco meat that is perfectly seasoned, your beef tacos will be bland. Sure, you can add lettuce, salsa, and jalapenos, but there’s not way to disguise that bland meat sitting at the bottom of your taco. Fortunately, with the right seasoning and some of your favorite toppings and side dishes, you’ll be set for your very own Mexican fiesta!
If you're like most people, a weekly taco feast is something you look forward to. Let's face it, there's a reason this popular Mexican staple has gained such a prominent place in our lives that it has earned it's own day - Taco Tuesday. Of course, even if you aren't serving them on a Tuesday, tacos are always a hit with both kids and adults.
