Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until simmering.

Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic, spices, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in the ground beef.

Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the tomato sauce, broth, vinegar, and sugar.

Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Season with salt to taste.

Step 2

I put out a tray with all of the toppings on it so they can put what they want. I have some who just like meat & cheese while others like everything

You can actually easily make your own taco shells but I usually buy the ones with the flat bottoms so they can be served easily.We also sometimes have Taco Salads as well. with the same ingrediants
