Hola friends,
There’s something about a simple, all American taco that feels like home to me. Simple ground beef tacos are the ones I was raised on, so these contain a hefty dash of nostalgia for me. However, instead of using a taco spice packet, I created a spice mixture that kicks these up a notch or two.
You could pre-assemble these and set them up on a large baking sheet or board and serve picnic style or set everything out for a DIY taco bar. Simple, healthy, delicious.
