BEST GROUND BEEF TACO RECIPE



Best Ground Beef Taco Recipe image

The absolute BEST ground beef Tacos! An easy to make homemade taco seasoning and a secret ingredient that makes this the most flavorful and juiciest taco meat EVER! The perfect family weeknight meal that can be ready in less than 30 minutes!

Provided by Serene

Categories     dinner

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef (70-80% lean*)
1 tbsp chili Powder
½ tsp salt
¾ tsp cumin
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
½ cup tomato sauce
8 white corn tortillas
½ cup oil (canola or vegetable)

Steps:

  • Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon while cooking. Cook the ground beef fully, until browned and no longer pink.
  • Drain: Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Then return to the stove and reduce the heat to low.
  • Season: Add the 1/2 cup tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Stir together until the meat is coated in the sauce.
  • Simmer: Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Fry Tortillas: Pour 1/2 cup oil in a medium size skillet, heat over medium high heat. Carefully dip a tortilla, if the oil sizzles and bubbles then it's hot enough. Gently lay the tortilla in the oil and fry each side for about 30 seconds, just enough to give some color and add some crispness.
  • Shape Tortillas: Remove the tortilla to a paper towel to absorb oil, and carefully fold the tortilla over to create a taco shape. I do this with my tongs, or two forks, whatever I'm using to lay the tortillas in the oil and remove them.
  • Toppings: Fill the tortillas with the ground beef taco meat and add desired toppings

OUR FAVORITE GROUND BEEF TACOS



Our Favorite Ground Beef Tacos image

Weeknight ground beef tacos that are anything like the 90s! These are made with a homemade taco seasoning and served with the perfect toppings!

Provided by How Sweet Eats

Categories     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound 85% to 93% lean ground beef
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes, (quartered)
½ sweet onion, (diced)
¼ cup cilantro, (chopped)
½ lime, (juiced)
pinch of salt and pepper
corn or flour tortillas, (warmed)
hard shells or tortilla chips, (if desired)
sharp white cheddar cheese, (freshly grated)
avocado, (diced)
fresh cilantro
quick pickled onions

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. With ground beef, I rarely add any oil to the skillet because it tends to be fattier. If needed, you can add 1 teaspoon of olive oil (of your oil of preference). Once the skillet it hot, add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon.
  • Cook, stirring and breaking apart the beef often, until it begins to brown. Add in the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir well to disperse all the seasonings. Cook until the beef is just browned.
  • I love the seasoned beef like this - it's a personal preference. If you'd like it saucier, follow the directions below. You can also add in a tablespoon of beef or vegetable stock, or even tomato sauce, to make it saucier.
  • Serve the ground beef in tacos (warm corn or flour tortillas in the oven for a few minutes), on nachos or in salads. We like to top ours with a quick pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, white cheddar cheese, diced avocado and pickled onions.
  • If you'd like to add peppers and onions: heat the skillet over medium heat and add 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add in 1 diced onion, 1 diced bell pepper and a few minced garlic cloves with a pinch of salt. Toss well and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Proceed with browning the beef above!
