We had our tacos with home-made guacamole, lettuce, cheese, and store-bought salsa. We love the salsa by Mad Mexican. Their guac is amazing as well but I had all the ingredients for it at home so I made my own. The beef was really easy to make, and full of flavour. Here's the recette:
Beef Tacos
1 lb lean grass-fed ground beef
2 tsp olive or coconut oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tb ground chili
pinch ground chipotle chili
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 T cocoa powder
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2 small can tomato paste
1/2 cup water
2 tsp. vinegar, either red wine or apple cider
8 taco shells (we like the organic Alba Lisa brand)
shredded cheese
guacamole
salsa (we used Mad Mexican fresh salsa)
cilantro
shredded lettuce
sour cream, crema, onions etc.
Heat oil on medium heat and add onions. Cook until translucent, then add garlic and spices, with a couple pinches of salt. Stir until spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beef and gently break it up with a spoon. Try not to constantly stir it, you want it to properly brown (this is where you'll get a lot of nice flavour). Once the meat is cooked stir in the water, vinegar and tomato paste. Gently simmer on low until the liquid has evaporated. Taste, and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately!
The beef was great-- so many different flavours. We forgot to put the guacamole on first, so my only advice is to remember to put it on the bottom or you'll have to put it beside the meat and it will look ugly. Enjoy!

This reminds me of the tacos we made, and I will have to agree with you on the Mad Mexican salsa AND guacamole! So yummy.
