We were running behind on our day and needed something quick for dinner.
We had cereal last night and I didn't really want that again so we went
through our food and found some left over ingredients for taco soup.
(We made some last weekend when we had some family in town). The best thing about taco soup is that there is really not much to it. Open a few cans of beans cook up some meat and mix it all together with a few spices and tomato sauce.
We stated adding the ingredients and realized that we did not have any taco seasoning so I found a recipe and improvised with the spices we had on hand.

Let the pressure come down. We did a quick release by running the put under water. (You can learn more about that from this post- coming soon!)
