They’re easy, flavorful and ready to go in less than 30 minutes! What makes this taco meat so darn good (aside from the homemade seasoning blend) has got to be the use of two secret ingredients: brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Just a teaspoon of brown sugar along with 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar give the meat a sweet and acidic flavor that can’t be beat! I also like to add extra onion, garlic and either a jalapeno or a bit of serrano for even more kick.
