Give that ground beef an authentic Tex-mex taco taste. as your browing your beef, add 1/4 diced onion, about a tspn full each of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin powder and red pepper flake for heat. Use lean beef so you dont have a lot of grease produced. seve this beef with soft or crispy tacos or a filling for beef enchiladas. fill a large tortilla with beans and beef for a burrito. use as a topping or filling for all you favorite dishes.
