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.”

This was great! I added fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, and extra spices. We used the leftover meat for an omelette the next morning.

This was just great! I halved the recipe and used 1 cup of salsa in place of the diced tomoato. The spices tasted like packaged taco seasoning without all that sodium! What an excellent and easy alternative!

Good blend of spices- needs a good amount of salt. I used ground turkey so it was very dry and needed to add some extra water for moisture. Did not add any cornmeal at all. Will try to use this more often than packaged taco seasoning.

Super tasty! I use this basic recipe for all kinds of dishes. My favorite is taco salad with a dallop of sour cream and guacamole. The best!

This was an awesome and easy recipe. I used vegitarian ground round and added 1-2 tbsp. Ketchup for added flavour. I also recommend making a side of guaccamole to add to your taco or pita. Very Tasty and a definite keeper.

Very good! I used this with ground turkey and since I halved the recipe and did not want to waste half a can of tomatoes, I used a good quality salsa in its place. This made for some tasty tacos and I plan to use up the leftovers with nachos. Thanks for the recipe!

I have tried a similiar dish but never with the cornmeal nor fresh spices - it made a whole lot of diffrence to the texture and taste of the beef. It was much more moist and delish :) Was well worth it .. yummyyyyyyy :)

Three pounds of ground meat for 10 servings seemed quite a lot to me. I made this for a leaner taco salad, so I scaled down. Used half a large onion, 1 large garlic clove, 1 tsp oregano, still full Tbs cumin because we love cumin, 1 pound ground turkey with about 2 Tbs lime juice squeezed in while onions were sauteed. Still used the full can of tomatoes since this was for taco salad. I also used crushed white corn tortilla chips to thicken the mixture till it reached the consistency I preferred. This was excellent. It still made quite a lot for a taco salad.

This was very tasty, and didn't take a lot of time or effort to make. Just top the tacos and you've got a meal (okay, more like 2 or 3 meals).

I may have used too much meat for spices. As a result, my husband was not fond of it.

I used lean ground turkey and it came out great for tacos (and almost fat-free!). The leftovers were delicious in a taco salad. I didn't have any canned tomatoes, so I used chunky salsa and added 1/2 cup of water.
