Here's the thing with soccer practice, they put it right through dinner time, at least for my kids recreational league. So to not stress myself, I made like 5 pounds of taco meat and froze it in ziploc bags, 0.8 lb to a bag.
Last night I pulled one out along with a bag of seasoned rice and threw it into a water bath set at 155 degrees F, just before we left for practice. Then we came home and I just heated up some tortillas, and dinner was ready.
Just like taco bell does.
