These are 10 stars!!! I added chopped cabbage (a favorite of DH and Mine) We eat our tacos similar to this all the time!! LOVED them!! Thanks for posting such a great (authentic) recipe!!! -
This is a good simple dish to make. I did add some more spices to the meat, but that's just me. Served with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole!

My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
