Taco Filling Recipe


Finding a good taco filling recipe at times can be a little difficult. If you have been searching for a good recipe, the search has come to an end. After trying this you will never want to use another store bought seasoning mix again. One thing I really enjoy about this recipe is that it isn’t overloaded with seasonings like most taco fillings. This recipe uses ingredients such as diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, and various seasoning to create a near perfect blend. This seasoning can be used with either ground beef or ground turkey. Top these tacos with guacamole, shredded cheese, or whatever you like. Enjoy.

Try using pulled pork instead of ground beef for an interesting twist on a great recipe

We had your tacos last night and they were superb. I had plenty of the filling left over and made enchiladas with your sauce recipe tonight. enough Mex for a while, I think. Probably do those boring old Julia Child pork chops tomorrow (kidding, they are yummy). Thanks!
