I enjoy making our own seasoned ground beef for tacos and nachos, but my kids (and young guests) will squawk over the tiniest bit of onion, garlic or chunks of tomato. They also don’t enjoy the meat being too spicy for their developing taste buds. So I came up with this recipe with powdered seasoning alternatives, which still utilizes all the savory flavors of those tasty ingredients, but the chunky texture is gone.
You can always include fresh, cooked or caramelized onions, garlic and tomatoes on the side for adults to add to their dish.
Try this quick and easy recipe and watch the kids go back for seconds!
