Chili-Beef Tacos

I've never liked that weird reddish powder taco seasonings. I always thought it tasted too strong, was way too salty and turned my taco meat a weird color.  I've tried to make my own several times, but often the recipes call for a lot of obscure Mexican seasonings that I didn't have on hand, so I skipped them.  It was never quite right.  I found this recipe on Weight Watchers and thought what the heck, I'll give it a try.  I was really surprised at how easy it was and how flavorful it was with just a few ingredients.  Besides, it's better for you than that other stuff.  We used crunchy corn tacos, but you could use it anyway you want.

Makes about 6 full tacos...

2 Tbsp chili powder 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp olive oil 1 small onion, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 8 oz ground beef 8 oz canned tomato sauce 12 oz can kidney beans 6-8 store bought taco shells 4 tbsp light sour cream 4 tsp chopped cilantro 1.

Add onions and saute until soft 4.  Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes 5. Add beef, cook until brown all the way through 6. Add tomato sauce and beans and simmer for about 5 minutes. Assemble your tacos and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
