We love tacos around here, and I love a fast meal that everyone eats well. Ground beef tacos have always been my kids' favorite, and they come together in no time. This recipe makes the most amazing beef taco filling with just the right spices and sauciness. You can use it to fill crisp taco shells, soft corn or flour tortillas, in taco salads and bowls, as well as enchiladas and tamales. It is so delicious and reminds us of the ground beef you can get at Moe's Southwest Grill, a family favorite!
