Instructions: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. To prepare the meat filling for the tacos as described on the original package instructions:

"In large skillet, brown 1 pound ground beef until crumbly; drain fat.

Add spices & seasonings and 2/3 cup water; mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil: reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon meat filling into warmed taco shells or tortillas.

Top with shredded lettuce, grated cheddar cheese and chopped tomato. Use fresh salsa and guacamole if desired."

Makes meat filling for 12 tacos (about 3 tablespoons each).

This is a clone for the stuff you buy in 1 ounce packets to create, as the package says, "a fun-filled Mexican fiesta in minutes." Isnt that so true? In fact, thanks to Lawrys my last Mexican fiesta was so filled with fun that I had to take a nap. And now I promise you just as much fun with this TSR clone - maybe even a tad more fun if youre lucky. Just mix the ingredients together in a small bowl, then add it to 1 pound of browned ground beef, along with some water and let it simmer. Before you know it youll be up to your eyeballs in fun.
