Use just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a pan. Add garlic and ground meat. Cook well. Add onion and cook until it wilts and starts to carmelize. Add corn and peppers. Add tomato sauce and spices and simmer well, almost til the liquid id evaporated.

Build tacos and eat.

NOTE:
I have also used diced tomatoes, depending on what's in the pantry.

Nachos

1) Add a can of black beans to the taco filling.
2) Consider adding Spanish Rice, plain rice laced with a little chicken broth or salsa, or purple rice for a little bit of sweetness.
