• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• chili sauce, 8 to 12 ounces (read recipe introduction)
• 1 cup cranberry sauce
• 1 -2 teaspoon salt-free taco seasoning mix, to taste

• shredded cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, shredded lettuce, crema mexicana (can substitute other cheese varieties ( queso fresco, cotija, etc.) or sour cream

Recipe

• 1 note: i make my own cranberry sauce and freeze for later use in recipes. or, if you have any leftovers from the holidays, that works out conveniently, too. i recommend this basic recipe: basic cranberry sauce.
• 2 cook beef, onion and garlic in large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes or until beef is cooked through and vegetables are softened; drain.
• 3 stir chili sauce, cranberry sauce and seasoning mix into beef mixture.
• 4 reduce heat. cook for 10 minutes or until flavors are blended. do not allow mixture to dry out, adding a little bit of water if necessary.
• 5 divide beef mixture evenly among taco shells.
• 6 top with cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream-any or all of your favorite taco garnishes.
