Chacha's Greasy Taco Recipe image

I am posting this recipe, because so many friends and family have been bugging me over the many years to get it. Okay then finally at last here it is! For all those who have never been to my house for Greasy Taco Night...be prepared, this is a 4 napkin taco - We don't call em Greasy for nothing ya know. If you care to make these a bit lighter in the Calories (though I don't know how much it will help) use ground turkey instead. I like to use more shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped green onions, chopped cucumbers, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa on the side to allow people to really dress these babies up.

These tacos were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try making them again with less oil next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tacos turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the meat. Oh well, next time!

These tacos were just okay. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of cheese. The cheddar cheese was a bit too strong for my taste.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

These tacos were a great way to use up leftover ground beef. I also liked that the recipe was so versatile. I was able to add my own favorite toppings and seasonings.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The tacos were bland and the shells were soggy. I think I'll stick to my old taco recipe.

The tacos were a bit too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try making them again with less oil next time.
