The key to great tacos is the seasoning of the meat. The seasoned ground beef here can be used in burritos, quesadillas and on taco salads for future meals. Canned diced tomatoes with jalapenos or green chiles add flavor and a spicy kick to the filling while ground cumin and coriander add depth. Ready in just 25 minutes, each serving is two tasty tacos. Let your guests dress their own with cilantro, green onions, and tomato on the table. Serve with black beans toss with canned corn and red bell peppers for a full plate. To toast tortillas, coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place tortillas on top and coat with cooking spray. Heat in a 300°F oven until slightly crisp but not too crisp that they break when folded.
