Mexican is probably my favorite type of food.  It has a lot of combining flavors is relatively easy to make. It can be a little pricey compared to Taco Bell but homemade tacos and nachos will not do the damage that T.Bell will to your stomach.

Taco Meat

Tools:

Large stove-top pan

Mandolin/Food Processor or sharp knife

Ingredients:

1lb ground beef

taco seasoning

Hard or Soft shells/ Tortilla chips

Sour cream

Onions

Taco  flavored cheese

Salsa

Lettuce

                    Taco Sauce

Directions:

Heat pan to a Medium/High temperature.

Place ground beef in pan and chop with the spatula into bite sized pieces as it cooks.

While the meat is cooking, now is a good time to get the vegetables prepped. One at a time, run each vegetable through the processor/mandolin or just chop/mince into small piece.

After about 10-15 minutes of moving the ground beef around the pan it should be just about cooked.  Most people drain the fat off the cooked and mix the seasoning with water before adding it to the cooked meat. I leave the fat in and just add the seasoning at this point.  In doing this you do not lose any flavor.  The fatty juices will absorb into the seasoning and back then back into the meat.  Once the juices cook off your done.  

Assemble your tacos or nachos with all your vegetables mountain and enjoy.
