Directions: |
Directions:Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat and add chopped onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is soft but not browned (about 4-5 minutes).
Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef. Cook until beef is brown and there is no pink left, about 5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon.
Drain some of the grease (draining all will make it too dry). Stir in garlic, spices, tomato sauce, salsa, and salt. Cook over low heat about 10 more minutes until done.
Spoon into soft or hard taco shells that have been warmed up and add chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese. Other possibilities are sliced olives, taco sauce, sour cream, guacamole, etc. |

Notes: Can serve with packaged Mexican rice and/or canned refried beans. Can also make these as "Walkaway Tacos" by buying individual size bags of Fritos, cutting off tops of bags, crunching up the Fritos a bit and spooning the meat onto the Fritos and add toppings. These can also be put in Crock Pot to cook on high for about 2 hours. If doing chicken tacos in crockpot, I put large pieces of rotisserie chicken with skin removed in Crock Pot and after 2 hours, shred chicken using two forks, stir into sauce and serve.
