Southwestern-Flavored Ground Beef or Turkey for Tacos & Salad

“With Southwestern-Flavored Ground Beef, you can simultaneously make tonight's dinner and tomorrow's lunch. Just save out and refrigerate some of the taco meat and fixings such as shredded cheese and lettuce, plus chopped scallions and tomatoes. A good-looking salad like this will draw potential lunch traders. More likely than not, they'll be out of luck.”

My *incredibly* picky 8-yr old- who does NOT like chunks of tomatoes- LOVED this. She even had seconds!

DELICIOUS, I will never use taco seasoning again. It really does not take much more time and it turns out much better. I have made this taco meat several times. I never use cornmeal because I don't have it handy.

This was delicious! I do not cook often and am always afraid when I try new recipes. This was easy and everyone loved it. I used turkey meat and it worked well.

This was okay but a little bland for my tastes. (I love spice though) My family didn't make comment so it must have been okay for them. I used Mexican oregano which has a different flavor than the Mediterranean type. We used this warm to make taco salad for dinner and it turned out well. I would fix this again, but it didn't make my favorites list.

I don't know if I did something wrong when I attempted this recipe, but it came out so bland that I had to add a packet of seasonings, a can of green chiles, and lots of water so it wasn't so thick. I really had high hopes for this recipe because of all the wonderful reviews I read. Could it have been something I did wrong? One would tend to think that, but then again, how hard can it be to follow the easy directions? However, I am sure that the person who made up this recipe really has a treasure here - I guess I just wasn't the person to discover it! : ) Oh well, I'm glad everyone else enjoyed it so much!! Happy Cooking!

This was great! I'm trying to incorporate more Ground Turkey in our diets. I did cook this longer since I was using low sodium tomatoes & no salt. I also used regular Chile Powder & Chipoptle Chile Powder. Since we can't eat salt you really have to up the other spices. I let this simmer for several hours before adding the cornmeal. We made tacos & it was great!

Wow! This was perfect. I used super lean turkey and used hot salsa instead of the tomatoes. Other than the salsa everything else was according to recipe including the cornmeal and it was perfect. Now I can make this on my own to make it lower sodium and it was really quick too!! Will most definitely make this again. Thaks for the recipe.

Great flavor! I like the natural ingredients compared to the packaged stuff. I used maltodextrin instead of cornmeal. It added some sweetness that complemented the spice.

Great recipe and definately a keeper. I made this for a party and everyone loved it. Only change i made was cutting the cornmeal to 1/4 c. I won't be going back to the store bought taco seasoning anymore!

The first time I made this, I cut back on the seasonings because I thought it would kill my husband (he's not overly fond of spicy food). It is far better with the called for amounts and still isn't a mouth-burner. It was a huge hit for burritos and for dip.

This recipe is really good. I have never made my own taco seasoning before and I will never use it again. The only thing is that it needs a little more of a kick to it. It needs something so I guess I will play with it a little bit and see if anything helps. My husband loved them and ate 4 tacos. I will definitely make this again.
