    Sweet n Sour Beef Tacos

    Holy delicious…that’s what my husband exclaimed upon first bite. He’s been my food critic all along this crazy blogging adventures, and every now and again we hit a winner. And he wasn’t the only one raving about these. Just looking at the photo now and remembering how much I enjoyed them is making my salivate. If I didn’t already dinner in the slow cooker, these would be on our table again tonight.

    Adore the sweet n sour flavors. Adore the inexpensive cabbage addition. Adore the crunch and burst from the green onions. And adore how it all fits so perfectly into a warm tortilla. Holy delicious.

      Is it tomato sauce or paste? Wouldn’t that make a big difference?

      A huge difference, Leslie, and my question exactly. I’m guessing that sauce is the answer, but we’ll see.

        Or maybe we won’t see. Evidently no one is around to monitor responses. What a shame.

      Im expecting its tomato paste as here in Tasmania, Australia, tomato sauce doesnt come in cans only tomato paste…….the amount also suggests paste……lets wait with baited breath.

        Hey Meg,

        You can make tomato sauce with a 6 oz. can of tomato paste plus 1 1/2 cans worth of water. Hope that helps!
