Confetti Beef Tacos

Tacos have been a staple in the meal rotation since I was a young girl. My mom made them on a regular basis. Then, when it was time for me to be an adult, tacos were a regular on my menu just like these confetti beef tacos.
Tacos are just one of those meals that almost everyone seems to be happy with. I mean sure you can have your go to taco recipe that you always just stick with. My kids would probably be happy with that, but I do get tired of the same thing over and over after a while. So I am always willing to try a new way to serve up tacos and I have quite the collection of taco recipes. Just type tacos into the search bar of my site and you can find over 100 ways to make tacos.
Today, I have yet another way to make a taco and this one is right up there at the top now as one of my family’s favorites. It’s funny just by making slight changes to a regular taco recipe you can get a totally different flavor.
This confetti beef tacos recipe has the addition of corn to the taco meat. I remember going camping as a young girl with a family that we were friends with. One night we had taco for dinner and it was prepared by the mom for this family that we went with. I remember that she added corn to her taco meat and it tasted amazing. So when I saw this recipe, that memory convinced me to give the recipe a try.
I am so glad I did! The addition of corn is also a great way to extend that pound of ground beef to make more tacos. This is something I have been having to find ways to do for several years now in order to have enough dinner for my 2 growing boys that are now 20 and 17.
