Preparing American Style Tacos

Maria Makes American Tacos Video (5min 19sec): American style tacos - shells, spicy beef, veggies - so easy and so good!

Tonight for dinner, I'm making American tacos. It's a comfort food. It's not very gourmet. But its delicious and I love them once in a while.

I don't buy those little taco seasoning packets. I make my own seasoning because it's so easy, it's much cheaper, and it tastes better.

So, to do this, what I want to add is about two teaspoons of dry minced onion to a little bowl. And then to this I'm going to add about one teaspoon of sea salt, and one teaspoon of chili powder.
