1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
vegetable oil
packaged taco mix
cabbage of lettuce, finely chopped
fresh tomatoes. chopped finely
cheese, grated
sour cream
salsa
taco shells or tortillas

Saute chopped onions until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook just before it browns. Add lean ground beef and brown, making sure to break down the big clumps of meat. Drain excess oil. Prepare taco mix according to directions and add to meat mix.

Heat taco shells in oven according to package directions. Assemble tacos, starting with the beef at the bottom. Top with cabbage or lettuce, spoon some sour cream over it to hold things together, continue topping with chopped tomatoes and grated cheese, topping with salsa if desired.


LANCE prefers the soft taco version, made with tortillas instead of taco shells. Layer tortillas with above ingredients, fold over and enjoy!
