Beef Essentials: Spicy Chili Taco Meat image

We had a Mexican Sunday with a big taco bar, and among the usual items, I cooked up some spicy ground beef, shredded chicken, and grilled shrimp. I played about with the taco meat; tried a few new spices, and here you go... Another taco meat recipe that is Easy/Peasy to make. At least that is my story and I am sticking to...

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I'm so glad I did! The chili taco meat was just the right amount of spicy and it had so much flavor.
