    Sounds great! It's more healthy than ground beef but sounds just as tasty...I'll have to try this later in the week. Thanks!

    I make my own taco seasoning too. Very simple and less fat, sodium and preservatives then pre made store bought.

    equal parts of- depends on how spicy you want it
    oregano (Mexican oregano works better and is cheaper)
    cumin
    paprika
    chili powder

    2 tbs crushed garlic
    sea salt to taste.

    brown meat, when almost brown ,drain and add spices with some water to pan.

    Sounds good... can be even better

    Use a whole wheat tortillas instead of corn tortillas
    Use plain greek yogurt in place of sourcream

    Sounds super yummy though!
