  • You can add more than 1/4 cup salsa to the mix if you like or omit salsa and add some veggie stock instead, either or will be delicious. Adding the salsa or veggie stock gives the taco meat a perfect balance.
  • You should be able to find Tajin seasoning locally, if not you can find it here.
  • I love this Taco meat on a good ole hard taco shell with my Pico de Gallo, couple of pickled jalapeños  and some shredded iceburg lettuce. Yum! mmmm Guacamole and hot sauce would be great too!
