This taco recipe is plenty for a family of four. I have included the directions for the rice, but feel free to make it your own by adding diced tomatoes, green chilis, or leave it plain. Hope you have good luck with it.

Ingredients:
$1.66 - 1 lb. ground beef
$1.50 - 1 package of taco shells
$0.40 - Taco seasoning (I use Tones and follow the directions)
$2.00 - Taco toppings such as cheese and lettuce
$0.50 - 2 cups of white rice
$6.06 Total

Directions:
Prepare taco shells according to the directions on the package.

In a 10 inch skillet over medium heat, brown your ground beef. Make sure you break up the meat into small pieces so it will fit onto your taco shell. Once the meat is brown (about 4-6 minutes), turn the heat to low, and drain the grease from the meat. Add seasonings according to the package ( I did 1/4 cup of seasoning and 2/3 cup of water). Stir and simmer for about 3 minutes. Eat and enjoy!

Directions for Rice:
Prepare 2 cups of white rice according to the directions on the box. I used instant white rice. To the two cups of water, I added one chicken bullion cube. When the water was boiling and the rice was ready to be put in, I added 1/2 tsp. of chili powder and paprika to the top of the rice and give it a quick stir. When you are ready to serve, top with 2 tablespoons of butter.
