What To Do

To prep, chop garlic, onion, red peppers, and cilantro. Make sure you have the taco components of choice

Use just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a pan. Add garlic and ground meat.

As the meat starts to brown, add chopped onion and cook until it wilts and starts to caramelize. Add corn and peppers. Add tomato sauce and spices and simmer well, until the liquid is nearly evaporated.

Build tacos and eat.

Notes

  • Leftover meat can easily be used to make nachos, particularly if you add a can of black beans to the mix.
  • This makes enough to freeze for another meal.
