This simple 30 minute meal recipe is budget friendly and can be easily made with ingredients in your fridge and pantry. Serve with some rice or chips and salsa on the side for a complete meal.

If your kids love tacos like mine do, then this will be a dinner that can be included in your regular rotation. 

We saved some money by skipping the packet seasoning and using the spices we already had in the pantry. The meat stretches further by adding the cheap canned black beans. 

This taco meat can be made into many meals. We love using it in tacos, taco salads, burritos, quesadillas and taquitos. The leftovers are great for a quick lunch the next day.
