Carne Picada Soft Tacos

The fact that we love Mexican food around here is no surprise. But when I got my hands on some Carne Picada, I knew I'd have to research it a little bit to figure out what to do with it. Turns out this thinly sliced beef is so versatile! Almost anything you can do with ground beef you can do with Carne Picada. So...Carne Picada tacos it was! When IT Guy walked into the house after work and smelled this cooking, I knew I had him! Look for this cut of beef at your grocery store and give it a try! We really enjoyed it!!
