It's hard to believe that I have never posted this really basic basic, but looking though my archives I have not. So here it is, a 'taco meat' mix that I make all the time in some quantity, freezing in portions. It can be used in tacos of course, as well as a sort of Western-tasting soboro to top rice. I try to get as many vegetables as I can into it. This most recent batch was made by The Guy by the way, proving that it's quite fuss-free...provided your Guy (or Girl, whichever designation fits the non-cooking partner in your household) doesn't mind chopping vegetables, or else can use a food processor.
