Beef Essentials: Spicy Chili Taco Meat image

We had a Mexican Sunday with a big taco bar, and among the usual items, I cooked up some spicy ground beef, shredded chicken, and grilled shrimp. I played about with the taco meat; tried a few new spices, and here you go... Another taco meat recipe that is Easy/Peasy to make. At least that is my story and I am sticking to...
