Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup onion, minced
2 tsp minced garlic
chili sauce , 8 to 12 oz (read recipe introduction)
1 cup cranberry sauce
1 -2 tsp salt-free taco seasoning mix , to taste
12 flour tortillas (for fun i used mini taco shells) or 12 corn
shredded cheddar cheese , fresh cilantro , shredded lettuce, crema mexicana (can substitute other cheese varieties ( queso fresco , cotija , etc.) or sour cream

Directions:

Note: I make my own cranberry sauce and freeze for later use in recipes. Or, if you have any leftovers from the Holidays, that works out conveniently, too. I recommend this basic recipe: Basic Cranberry Sauce.
Cook beef, onion and garlic in large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes or until beef is cooked through and vegetables are softened; drain.
Stir chili sauce, cranberry sauce and seasoning mix into beef mixture.
Reduce heat. Cook for 10 minutes or until flavors are blended. Do not allow mixture to dry out, adding a little bit of water if necessary.
Divide beef mixture evenly among taco shells.
Top with cheese, tomato, lettuce and sour cream-any or all of your favorite taco garnishes.
