Another web recipe mash-up. Taco mix not in the pouch. I have never been a big fan of the taco seasoning packets. The taste ends up too processed and the taco meat too runny. This recipe you can play with to taste how you like it, and in its native form, tastes pretty good. In the 2 times I have made it so far, I have not been precise with the measurements, and skipped the onion powder since I didn't have any on hand. Sautéed onions with the ground beef seems like a better way.
Beer and tacos are natural buddies, and 1554 Enlightened Black Ale by New Belgium (of Fat Tire fame) went down good.
