Taco Meat


1 lb. hamburger
Half a jar of Pace Picante Medium Salsa (or to taste)
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 to 1 tsp cumin (to taste)
salt and pepper

Brown meat, add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
We don't like the packet taco seasoning so my mom came up with adding the salsa and we added a few more spices and came up with this! It's super easy and super yummy! The flavors are much better than the packet taco seasoning! Enjoy!
