Spicy Sonoran Beef Tacos with Cranberry Pico

With serrano chiles and dried cranberries, these savory tacos appeal to grown-up tastes. Serve the tacos with Mexican rice, refried beans and a salad of chopped lettuce and tomatoes.

Brown ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until beef is not pink, breaking up into small crumbles. Pour off drippings; season with salt and pepper, as desired.

Place cranberries, cilantro leaves, chiles and lime juice in food processor container. Cover; process, pulsing on and off, until ingredients are finely chopped.

Add half of cranberry mixture to beef; mix well. Fill tortillas evenly with beef mixture; top evenly with remaining cranberry mixture. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, lime wedges and lime peel, if desired.
