lol im tryin to replicate those texmex joints in the city where they make the ground beef real fine and seasoned well. I think its hard to make authentic. Any joe schmo can make regular tacos.
btw i just made the salsa....and that shit is OUT OF CONTROL. I added onions and jalapenos...i can shower in this shit.

I make homemade salsa in my food chopper....its so much better when it's nice and fresh instead of from the jar....you probably wont (want to) buy jar salsa ever again.
