These ground beef and potato tacos are so delicious and easy to make that I like to prepare them frequently. I like serving them with slices of avocado and strips of lettuce to give them a fresh touch. The spice comes from the red sauce prepared with tomatoes, onions, oregano and a bit of Tabasco. Truly delicious! MORE + LESS -
