- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp oregano

Cook meat, onion & garlic. Â Pour off fat. Â Add remaining ingredients. Â Simmer 10 min
Topping: (I skip this and usually just use Ranch dressing but for the record, here it is)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups mayo
- 2 cups buttermilk

Blend ingredients until smooth.
Crush tortilla chips on plate, pour meat sauce over chips. Â Garnish as for a taco (tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc)
ENJOY!
