I threw together this Halloween taco bar and ran with the “day of the dead” theme. It was a small get-together, but it was fun and special! The best thing about the decor was… I didn’t buy a thing! I used party items and Halloween decor I’ve had for years! I hope it gives you a few ideas too!

Easiest Taco Meat Recipe Ever!

mybloomcreative — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 10:30:00 +0000

It’s absurd to even call this a recipe, laughable really. But maybe it’ll give you a family-friendly meal idea to add to your collection. It’s simple, quick, inexpensive and kids love it!

Ingredients

3 lbs. ground meat (beef, turkey or deer)

1 can corn

1 can black beans

1/3 cup homemade taco seasoning (or 2 packets of store-bought taco seasoning, my favorite is Thrive Market)

1. Brown the ground meat in a deep skillet.

2. Drain the meat if needed. Add 1/2 cup of water and taco seasoning. Mix.

3. Drain the corn and add it to the meat. Stir.

4. Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the meat mixture. Stir.

5. Let simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.

6. Enjoy it a million ways!

That’s it! 5 basic steps to an easy, healthy dinner!

Like I mentioned, we’ve been making this forever, all our babies have eaten it since they were in a high chair, (one still is!) and we all love it. We usually have “Mexican Monday” and we all eat it different ways. Adam spreads his meat on a plate, adds shredded lettuce, tomatoes, diced jalapeños and avocado and eats it with blue corn chips. I eat mine dressed like his, over salad or Siete chips. The kids eat it plain with a spoon!

You can add cheese and fresh fixings and eat it on a crunchy taco shell, roll it in a soft taco, stuff baby bell peppers with it and bake or add beautiful toppings (cilantro, purple onion, lime) and create gourmet street tacos on corn tortillas. We’ve done all the above!

We also make the meat mixture ahead and it keeps well in the fridge or freezer and reheats beautifully! I’m telling you… this recipe is a winner!

Tip: mix it with your favorite queso for a great party dip!
