Servings: persons

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 lb sausage (I use Jimmy Dean or Owens)
1 large chopped onion (red onion is fine)
6 cloves minced garlic (at least!)
1/2 teaspoon lawry seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1 small diced jalapeno pepper (remove seeds)
2 (10 ounce) cans Rotel Tomatoes, with juice,you can also use rotel mexican style tomatoes (dare I say we use the extra hot?!)
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup red wine (any will do)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced,for garnish

1
In a large skillet (with available lid), brown the meats with the next 10 ingredients.
2
Make sure the meat is browned really well.
3
Add the Rotel tomatoes, chicken broth, and wine.
4
Bring to a boil.
5
Reduce to simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and meat becomes very tender.
6
I put a lid half on for awhile and then take it off towards the end to help reduce the remaining liquid.
7
Garnish with fresh cilantro.
8
Serve in crispy taco shells, or warmed flour tortillas.
9
We top our tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, chopped black olives, sliced pickled jalepenos, salsa, and cheddar cheese.
10
This is a pretty basic recipe and if I have any left over, I'll dump a cup of cooked rice in and make untraditional stuffed cabbage rolls or even stuffed poblano peppers.
11
It's a jumping off point so you can play around with it and the spices to tailor it to your preference.
