Lynn's Ground Beef Taco
12 taco shells, fully cooked
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup onion, chopped
8 oz tomato sauce
2 tsp chili powder
1 cup tomato, chopped
1 cup lettuce, shredded
2 oz natural sharp cheddar cheese - shredded
1 taco sauce, as desired
Heat taco shells as directed on package.
Brown ground beef and onion in a fry pan. Drain off excess fat. Stir
in tomato sauce and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cook
10 to 15 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture is
dry and crumbly.
Fill heated taco shells with approximately 2 tablespoons meat
mixture. Mix tomato, lettuce, and cheese. Spoon about 2 tablespoons
over beef in taco shells. Drizzle with taco sauce, as desired.
The proverb warns that "You should not bite the hand that
feeds you." But maybe you should if it prevents you from feeding yourself.
