Every top-level :::name block is now a tab, shown in file order, so authors can add custom tabs and reorder them in the markdown. Titles come from the name or a :::name[Title] label. The recipe card is an ordinary :::card tab. Its body lists what it prints (::ingredients, or a block written just for the card), replacing ::card, the fallback to full sections, and its fixed tab position. All recipes are migrated, with pages and card images unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: multica-agent <github@multica.ai>

:::instructions
|
|
1. In a large bowl, combine the **ground beef**, 1 2/3 cups **water**, **taco seasoning**, **cornstarch**, and **cocoa powder**. Mix by hand or with a hand mixer until it forms a thick, sticky batter-like consistency.
|
|
2. Grease a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven and add the meat mixture along with the remaining 2/3 cup **water**.
|
|
3. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
|
|
4. Uncover and break the meat apart fully with a spatula. Reduce heat to low and simmer 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the mixture is thick and saucy.
|
|
5. Taste and adjust with **salt** as needed.

### Meat Quality
|
|
Slightly fatty meat helps the cornstarch slurry thicken the meat.
