On Taco’s and Farmers Breakfast

We are having Taco’s for dinner tonight. I’m not making them, the children are. I have recipes on this site, things I make up, and they use either that, or a printout of it to make dinner.

This is the recipe link … pastoralfarms.us/2009/09/18/taco-ground-meat-filling/

We still make it the same way, only I have a preference for pure ANCHO chili powder instead of “any old mix of chili and spices that is sold as ‘chili powder’ ” Ancho is a type of chili, not a brand.

I also put a healthy dose of Tabasco sauce in for a bit more zip. As time goes on we’ve grown to LOVE Tabasco sauce in Taco’s as well as in a breakfast that I call “farmers breakfast” which I am not sure if I’ve written it down in a post here or not. — I’ll have to write it down, it’s not something I’ve posted the recipe for (though I know my son did on his blog ;) )

It’s something that my eldest son and I enjoy having every so often, not every day, nor every other day. Basically something that many would have a problem with: potatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, butter, sea salt, tabasco sauce, eggs, cream, tabasco sauce, tabasco sauce, and cheddar cheese. So it’s something we really like, and others would think “How strange for breakfast, garlic?!!” Yeah! :)

I’ll post a link here when I write a new post for it.

Taco Ground Meat Filling

Taco Ground Meat Filling
by Maisy

1 lb. ground meat (i.e. beef, bison, etc.)
1 med. onion, diced
Garlic, minced (2 or more cloves, as much as desired, I use 3-5 usually)

Cook the above on medium heat until the meat is browned and the onions are soft. Then add:

3 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1 Tablespoon Cumin Powder
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 teaspoon sea salt

Stir the seasonings into the meat mixture well. Then add:

1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 oz. or equivalent of freshly diced tomato)
1 cup water

Stir everything together and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat just enough to keep the mixture gently simmering until the sauce thickens to desired consistency (10 minutes or so.)

Use to fill hard taco shells, soft taco shells, use with nachos, burritos, and so on.

This is what I’ve developed over the past few years. Tweak to your own taste.
