GROUND BEEF TACOS

GROUND BEEF TACOS

DINNER AT HOME

O.K. I am a certified Taco Snob.  I eat them whenever possible and would NEVER order a Ground Beef Taco and cannot stand when restaurants serve them.  Never would consider a Ground Beef Taco as Mexican food.    We were at the store and I bought some fresh Opah fish that was pink and fresh.  Fresh fish tonight I told my daughter.  After a week in San Diego eating great Carne Asada and Shredded Beef Tacos my daughter said she wanted a Beef Taco.  That was all she had to say and I bolted over to the meat department.  With no time to make Shredded Beef or Carne Asada Tacos like they should be, I went for the Ground Beef.  Turned the Ground Beef into some pretty good tacos using recipe below.  These Tacos are no substitute for a real Shredded Beef or Carne Asada Tacos but they did hit the spot and satisfy our taco fix.
