Tacos are a great weekend night dinner solution. Prepare the Big Batch Tex-Mex Beef recipe ahead and scoop out the amount of meat you need to make these tacos. This beef mixture is also great lunchtime solution. Pack 1/2 cup of the meat mixture into a microwave safe lunch container. Pack the taco fixings. At lunchtime, heat the beef mixture and assemble with taco fixings.

Directions

Big Batch Tex-Mex Beef

Cook ground beef and spices in Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 9 to 10 minutes, breaking into small chunks with back of spoon, until browned and completely cooked. Drain well, and return to pot. Add bell peppers and onions, simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until vegetables are softened. Add corn and heat though 1-2 minutes.
Spread mixture in a single layer on several foil or parchment paper-lined baking trays; freeze just until meat is firm, about 1 hour. Loosen beef mixture into chunks; scoop meal-sized portions into freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months.
