    How To Make Tacos Like Your Favorite Atlanta Restaurant

    4 Min Read

    We all love to go out to eat from time to time, but there’s nothing like cooking at home. What’s for dinner? Homemade tacos!

    Have you ever thought about creating tacos yourself? It’s not hard! You can make them just like your favorite Atlanta restaurant that serves Mexican fare. In this article, we’re going to show you how from the best taco recipe we have.

    Before we show you how to create a taco that rocks, let’s get into what makes a perfect taco.

    How To Make A Taco

    A taco consists of a tortilla made of wheat or corn. If you cook it just a bit, you’ll have the right consistency and texture you need to fill the taco with ground beef, chicken or some other meat.

    Speaking of meat, you may be wondering what you can put inside of a taco. Here are just some of the fillings you can use for a taco:

    • Ground beef
    • Pork
    • Chicken
    • Fish (salmon, catfish, halibut, etc.)
    • Cheese
    • Vegetable medley

    There is so much you can do with a taco and so many ways to create one. Because it is a dish that lends itself to so much diversity and variety, the taco is truly a global food.

    Along with the meat filling, you want to add some other things, such as some type of greenery and spices, sauces and other condiments.

    Here Is The Best Taco Recipe

    To make this awesome taco, you’re going to need several ingredients, including cheese and other toppings. We’re going to go over everything, but first, let’s talk about the meat you need to use.

    What kind of beef should you use?

    It’s best to use 100% lean ground beef in your taco, but even 90% will work. You don’t want a lot of grease to be in your tortilla. So, you don’t want your beef to be too fatty.

    I personally use Pace Taco mild seasoning and sprinkle it over my beef.

    As an alternative, you can also use Yoders Canned Taco Seasoned Beef if you want everything already done for you.

    Instructions

    • Turn your stove’s heat up to medium high
    • Add your ground beef in a skillet
    • Add garlic pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder and chili powder
    • Cook the beef while tossing it periodically
    • Once the beef is about done, add tomato sauce
    • Add water if you want to stretch the sauce, but if not, no water
    • Once the sauce is brought to a boil, set oven to low

    Here are just some of the non-meat fillings you can use in a taco:

    • Salsa
    • Shredded cheese
    • guacamole
    • sour cream
    • vegetables
    • lettuce
    • onion
    • tomatoes
    • chiles

    Now let’s get into the measurements of the ingredients you need the best taco recipe to take shape:

    Taco Ingredients

    • Taco shells (hard shells or soft tortillas)
    • 1 lb. 90% to 100% lean ground beef
    • 1 tablespoon of chili powder
    • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
    • 1 white onion cut in 1/2 inch rounds
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

    The eatery’s beverage program features beach-centric cocktails like the Amity Island, made with black cherry vodka, peach liqueur, blue curacao, lemon and gummy sharks, and the frozen Sleeper Cab, which includes Highclere Gin, Campari and watermelon juice. An assortment of wines and beers are also available, including the restaurant’s signature Longhaul Lager, which is a nod to the big-rig transport trucks that delivered the raw steel beams to the property.

  • Credit Score Ranges: Do You Know Yours?

    What’s A Good Credit Score Range?

    3 Min Read

    A good credit score is essential to keeping the purchasing power to buy the things you need and want.

    A lot of people no less than zero about their credit scores, so i”m going to break down all you need to know about them, including where to get them and what’s a good credit score range.

    What Is A Credit Score?

    A credit score is a three-digit number assigned to consumers who borrow money. The higher the score, the lower your credit risk.

    If you’re under 18, you may not have a credit score yet.

    As soon as you turn 18, you may notice a bunch of credit card offers in the mail. That’s because by law you’re fair game to be solicited to get a credit card.

    How To Get Your Credit Score

    Let’s say you apply for that credit card and get it. Then, you’ll be assigned a credit score. It will be used by lenders to access your credit risk.

    Here’s How To Get Your Credit Score:

    Every year, you have the right to request one free copy of your credit report from three major credit reporting agencies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

    You can can request your free credit report online at AnnualCreditReport.com or by calling toll-free 1-877-322-8228.

    If you have any discrepancies on your credit report, you can dispute it.

    When you get your credit report, here’s what you should do:

    • Go over your credit reports with a fine tooth comb
    • Make sure you know which open accounts you have
    • Make sure you know which closed accounts you have

    Credit Score Ranges: What They Mean

    Once you receive your credit report, you’ll see scores ranging from 300 to 850. Here are the credit score ranges for a consumer:

    • Excellent Credit: 850-800
    • Very Good Credit: 799-750
    • Good Credit: 749-700
    • Fair Credit: 699-650
    • Bad Credit: 649-600
    • Poor Credit: 599-300

    What Is A Good Credit Score Range?

    A good credit score range is one that is between 700 to 749. The credit scores are determined by he Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO), which created the scores that lenders use to issue credit.

    What Is A Good Credit Score To Buy A House?

    If you have fair credit, you can still get credit, it just will be at a higher interest rate. Lenders will generally let you qualify for a mortgage with a credit score above 650.

    What Is A Good Credit Score To Buy A Car?

    If you want to buy a car, you can typically qualify with a credit score around 650, which is again in the fair range.

    The truth is that there’s no uniform, agreed-upon minimum that lenders abide by. There’s just so many other factors at play, like how much your downpayment is.

    You Can Now Buy Stock In The Atlanta Braves

    2 Min Read

    When you watch the Atlanta Braves game, these days, you’re watching a team that owns itself, so to speak. The winning Major League Baseball franchise has split off from Liberty Media, its owners for the past several years.

    The team is now officially owned by Atlanta Braves Holdings, which will also own the ballclub’s associated real estate development project. The sale was completed on July 18, 2023.

    You can also now buy stock in the Braves. The company’s stock began trading on Wednesday, July 19, 2023 on the Nasdaq Stock Market, under the symbols “BATRA” and “BATRK”, respectively. Atlanta Braves Holdings Series B common stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “BATRB.

    Introducing Atlanta Braves Holdings Inc.

    Both parties call the deal The Split-Off and it will allow Liberty Media to refocus its energies on live exhibitions that go well beyond sports. Meanwhile, the Braves will simply have the winningest team in baseball.

    Both the Split-Off and Reclassification are subject to, among other things, the approval of Liberty Media’s stockholders at a meeting on on July 17, 2023 and the receipt of certain other approvals and tax opinions.

    When Did Liberty Media Buy The Braves?

    Liberty Media bought the Braves in 2007 for $1.5 billion. At that time, Time Warner owned the MLB franchise but sought to divest of sports properties. Since that purchase, the value of the Braves has nearly doubled and they are now one of the most pricey franchises in Major League Baseball.
