What's better than taco night? Tacos and beer!
Scratch that. Tacos made with beer! And tequila.
Yessssss!!
This from-scratch recipe is oh-so-much better than the packaged taco seasoning mix; mouthwatering and savory. Fresh veggies and the combination of spices is wonderful. The jalapenos and spicy pepper beer give the mixture a kick. The tequila sends it into a whole other realm of awesomeness.
Totally drool-worthy.

Add the ground beef and pork to the pan. Break up into bits with the back of a wooden spoon. Allow to brown a bit then add the 3 more ounces of beer and another shot of tequila. Bring to a boil then turn heat down to medium low. Cook the meat, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.

Pour another shot of tequila and pour the remaining beer into a glass. Set aside.
Avocado Tomato Salad: Chop a small tomato. Slice a medium avocado. Add both to a small bowl. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Squeeze a half a lime over top and gently mix. Refrigerate until ready to put the tacos together.
When the meat is cooked, remove it from the from heat and make yourself a pile of wicked good tacos. Enjoy the shot of tequila and glass of pepper beer with your tacos.
