TACOS
A couple days ago I made tacos. I browned a pound of ground beef, added about three tablespoons of Spanish Gardens taco spice mix and half a cup of tomato salsa and simmered it until the salsa was absorbed into the meat. Guacamole: Avocado mashed with salsa, onion, cilantro, salt, lime juice, jalapeno and garlic. Served with taco shells, soft tortillas, cheese, lettuce, refried beans, salsa, radishes, sour cream.
