1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 ounce) can green enchilada sauce

Salt, to taste
1/2 (1 ounce) package Hidden Valley Ranch mix
1/2 cup buttermilk

These tacos were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. The shredded beef was very tender and flavorful, and the tacos were easy to assemble. I would make them again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

I was disappointed with these tacos. The shredded beef was tough and dry, and the tacos were not very flavorful. I would not make these again.
