A ketchup like Heinze 57 works excellent because of the spices they use but don't use so much. Use just enough to cover the meat when it heats it makes a nice sauce. I've been using this receipe for 30 years now. You'd be surprised how much people love it especially kids. They will ask you for the receipe and then be surprised that it's only ketchup. Read More

i'm not even sure where to start.... if you don't like like hot (spicy) food then use ingredients which don't have a high heat index such as chile powder or cumin or mild salsa. please don't bastardize mexican cuisine by using ketchup as the base sauce for your taco filling. Read More

ANYTIME you see a taco recipe with ketchup just move on. Seriously this is terrible and a travesty. Yuck. Stick with cumin garlic maybe some paprika and fresh cilantro and you'll be wayyyy better off. Read More

While I have no problem with depatures from regular tacos this is about as far from cooking as you can get. Its a lump of ground beef mixed with ketchup and warmed up. Yikes. On a whim my girlfriend and I tried it (exactly as shown in recipe) and it was as bad as we expected. Don't waste good taco shells by filling them with this mixture! Ironically allrecipes.com recommended I pair this with Cuervo Especial tequila. This suggesstion is an insult to gooed tequila. Read More

Its easy so ill give it 2 stars beef and ketchup doesn't equal taco meat try cumin chili powder salt pepper and some water after you brown the meat. The trick to good mexican on the stovetop is cast iron. Read More

I enjoyed this recipe but I agree to use less ketchup then what it says to use. The taste of ketchup was a bit much. Read More
