Here’s our favorite recipe to share with friends on Cinco de Mayo! It’s called a taco tower and it goes amazing with Jalapeno Margaritas.
How to Make Taco Meat
Finely dice 1 onion. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet, then saute the onion until it starts to caramelize. Add 1 pound of ground beef, turkey, or venison.
Once it’s no longer pink, add 1 can of undrained diced fire-roasted tomatoes and the equivalent of 1 packet of taco seasoning. We use the copycat Taco Bell taco seasoning mix. Reduce heat, simmer 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.
Gather the remaining ingredients to make the taco tower. You’ll want shredded cheddar cheese (or a mexican cheese blend), black olives, shredded lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and finely sliced scallions. If you’d like add a few bits of freshly chopped cilantro and sliced jalapenos.
