All-American Beef Taco
Juicy ground sirloin perfectly seasoned with a smoky homemade spice mix and packed into a classic and crunchy yellow corn tortilla — it's a classic all-American beef taco and the perfect vessel for your favorite taco night toppings. This is essentially a north-of-the-border version of the original Tex-Mex tacos dorados. This recipe first appeared in Season 14 of Good Eats. Photo by Lynne Calamia
