Hello again! I apologize for slacking with new posts! I hope this beef taco recipe makes up for it. Please make it for dinner, it’s just SO. EASY. And it’s made with a secret ingredient. But since I like you all, I will tell you what that ingredient is… it’s a few tablespoons of tomato paste! It added a nice tomato flavor to the beef. What do you think about that? Can’t knock it til you try it ;-p
I think tacos just have a way of making everyone happy. TACOS! So versatile and they always hit the spot! And they’re so easy! I’ve spent many many dollars on tacos, but that’s life right? The good thing about these is that you can make them yourself! And no one around you will judge you for eating like 4 or 5 of them. Let’s be honest here, who can really eat just one taco?
