The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 white onion (, diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (, pressed or minced)
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoons salt

  • 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 12 taco shells
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (, shredded)
  • sliced lettuce
  • chopped tomatoes
  • avocado
  • onion
  • sour cream

Instruction

  • Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook until browned, about 10 minutes, breaking into small pieces as it browns. 
  • Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the beef is well browned and the onion is translucent.
  • Add the cumin, chili powder, garlic salt, kosher salt, and black pepper and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring often. 
  • Stir in the tomato juice and cornmeal and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the juice has cooked down and the cornmeal softens, stirring occasionally. Add more tomato juice or water if the mixture clumps. 
  • Place the taco shells on a sheet pan or in a baking dish and spoon about 1/3 cup taco meat into each shell and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Broil in a toaster oven or oven until the cheese melts. 
  • Garnish the tacos with fixings and serve.
