re: Homemade Taco recs?

I got a pretty simple recipe from a Mexican family while visiting Texas a few years ago.

Take 3 lbs of ground beef and mix with liberal amount of salt/pepper and 3-4 tb of minced garlic. Brown the meat in a pot and drain if you desire. Add one large can(24 oz?) of stewed tomatoes including the juice. Place the tomatoes in individually and chop them into small chunks. Add 6-7 cans of chopped green chiles and the juice from one lemon. Allow to simmer uncovered over medium heat stirring occasionally until the mixture becomes even in texture. Usually about 2 hours.

Traditionaly Mexican food is actually quite bland as opposed to cajun/creole cuisine. I usually add a little hot sauce to spice things up..
