1
Note: I make my own cranberry sauce and freeze for later use in recipes. Or, if you have any leftovers from the Holidays, that works out conveniently, too. I recommend this basic recipe: Recipe #188835.
2
Cook beef, onion and garlic in large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes or until beef is cooked through and vegetables are softened; drain.
3
Stir chili sauce, cranberry sauce and seasoning mix into beef mixture.
4
Reduce heat. Cook for 10 minutes or until flavors are blended. Do not allow mixture to dry out, adding a little bit of water if necessary.
5
Divide beef mixture evenly among taco shells.
6
Top with cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream-any or all of your favorite taco garnishes.
