Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1 can (15 oz) corn drained well
1 can (16 oz) original baked beans do not drain
1/3 cup BBQ sauce

1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

In a large skillet pan, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease/moisture.
Add in the remaining ingredients and stir together. Bring to a low boil and then reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until thickened.

Notes

BBQ Sauce : Make sure you use a bbq sauce that you love the flavor of. I use Kinder's brand or Sweet Baby Ray's. I prefer using original bbq sauce but you can use the flavored ones if wanted (spicy, brown sugar, honey, etc).

Baked Beans : Do not drain these! I recommend using the original baked beans and not using a flavored baked bean in this recipe.

Nutrition Information : This recipe makes enough for 10 tacos. The nutrition information listed is for one taco which is the bbq beef mixture + a corn taco shell. It does not include the toppings.
