Today is my last day in New Orleans before I head up to St. Louis for residency. Thankfully, Justin was able to get the day off from wards so we could spend some quality time before I leave. A couple of days ago we were talking about when we first moved down here and just reminiscing in general. That's when he told me that he really missed how we used to do taco night once a week. I kind of stopped making beef tacos because I didn't really like how the little flavor packets tasted and I preferred doing fish tacos. So I took it as a challenge and decided to do a sort of last hurrah taco night dinner before I left. This time I used my own mix of spices instead of a taco seasoning packet. It did not disappoint! Here is the recipe I used:
Taco night beef tacos
1/2 white onion diced
5 cloves of garlic (Justin loves garlic so I normally go pretty heavy on the garlic)
1 pound of lean ground beef
4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp turmeric (normally used in curry dishes but I like how it tastes)
1/2 can of tomato paste
Sauté the onion until soft. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the ground beef and seasonings. Cook beef until brown. Add tomato paste and cook for another 3 minutes.
Serve with whatever taco toppings you enjoy. We serve with cilantro, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, lime, and some peppers.
Thanks for sharing. These looks like such a great taco dinner night. Something I should do after getting home from the office. Have a great rest of your day.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic "last hurrah" meal! It's clear that the beef taco recipe is a keeper, especially with that special spice blend—it sounds like a great foundation for any taco night. Speaking of foundations, preparing for a big move (like heading to residency!) often involves ensuring your new or existing home is structurally sound. You can't overlook the importance of a solid, dry foundation! For anyone looking to secure their home's structure before a big change, having a professional waterproofing contractor inspect and protect the basement is essential.
