I was introduced to the most unique yummy taco recipe when I was in my teens. I was at a friend’s house and they made tacos in a way that I had never had before and I fell in love. Having never really enjoyed taco seasoning, this was right up my alley.


The base for the taco is simple: browned ground beef. Yes, that’s it, just browned ground beef. Nothing on it. Plain! I thought it was crazy when first introduced to it but many, many years later it’s still the way that I eat my tacos.


It’s topped with a tablespoon or so of hot tomato sauce, chopped-up green onions, green olive, and avocado. How simple is that?

Taco’s with Pico de Gallo


I’m the only one in my family that actually likes tacos this way. After I brown the ground beef I take out enough for me. Then I add McCormick Original Taco Mix to the rest of the ground beef (prepared according to package directions). I used to make my own taco seasoning but McCormicks is the best taco seasoning and it is also a Simple & Clean product. It’s a staple in my pantry.


My family also likes Pico de Gallo with their tacos. I make this recipe about 1/2 hour before we eat. It seems to taste better when it sits for a while.
