very good......... I never knew what spices to use for taco meat, so I used the spice packets, that are quite pricy. I had all of the spices in my cupboard. Thank you for the recipe. I noticed that many had an issue with the salt. I love salt and loved it.

As is, a tablespoon of salt is way too much for only a pound of ground beef. If you omit the 2 teaspoons in the Taco Potion and just put in the 1 teaspoon in the beef when you cook it, this is actually a very good recipe. I can't believe this recipe was intended to have that much salt. I know Alton is not afraid of salt in food, but this seems like a mistake.

Excellent recipe! However, we eat much less salt in our household, and in the future makes, we will eliminate the salt as the cumin and paprika provide plenty of saltiness for the dish. Otherwise, the feared heat was tasty and left you wanting more! Good job!

These were the best tacos I have ever made. So much better than a Taco Kit bought from the grocery store! My husband barely eats the store bought tacos when I make them, and when we had these tonight he ate every bit of it! I followed the recipie exactly and felt it came out perfect. I will definitely be making these again for us as well as for friends and family.

I'm beginning to believe that Alton doesn't offer us recipes that are ever below five stars. To quote my lovely wife...who is a serious food critic....these were absolutely the BEST tacos she's ever tasted in her life! And I'd readily second that opinion. I followed the recipe exactly, then topped off the tacos with a mix of four Mexican cheeses, sour cream with cilantro, refried beans, chopped tomatoes, guacamole, and slivers of romaine hearts. But I failed totally by not having whipped up a batch of Margaritas with which to wash down these delicious treats. These puppies were tailor made for this time of year's cold, blustery days. Do give them a try!

This recipe is a lot of work for what you can alternately prepare with very similar taste result from a popular prepared powdered taco meat packet available at your local supermarket. The end result isn't bad, just -- fair. Check out other taco meat recipes if you're looking for something special.
