Long time, no post…am I right? I’m working on my Cape Town, South Africa, post and hope to have it up soon. Life has been a bit hectic lately. The day after I landed from Cape Town, we received the keys to our new rental house and we moved in the following weekend. We’re still organizing. I forget how long it takes to get settled after moving. Also, moving is the worst. Who’s with me?

Alright, so I know everyone and there mom has a taco recipe. We made the BEST tacos last night and I thought I’d share with y’all.

Simple Tacos

Ingredients

Taco seasoning

• 2.5 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp dried (or fresh) oregano
• 3 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne more or less depending on spice
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Taco meat

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup Frozen (or fresh) onions and peppers
• 1.5 cup water or just enough to cover beef

Instructions

1. Brown the beef in a large pan

2. Once the beef is browned, drain the grease

3. Add frozen vegetables and cup of water to the beef. Make sure to have enough water to just about cover the beef

4. Mix all the seasoning ingredients together and stir them in with beef

5. Let the beef simmer on low/medium and continue to stir

6. Once all the water is gone, serve and enjoy!

I tend to enjoy my tacos with Siete tortillas or, if I’m not doing Whole30, with corn tortillas. My favorite leftover meal is taco meat over a bed of spinach. The best part of taco meat is it makes the best leftovers! I hope y’all enjoy!
