Ingredients
Best Ground Beef Taco Meat
- 1 pound 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
Fried Corn Tortillas
- 1/2 cup oil can use canola or vegetable
- 6 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Heat large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook while breaking up. Cook 5-7 minutes, until ground beef is browned and no longer pink.
- Drain the grease, then return the skillet to low heat., Add 1/2 cup tomato sauce and taco seasonings. Stir to combine.
- Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pour 1/2 cup oil to a 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.
- 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.
- Fill the tortillas with the ground beef taco meat and add desired toppings! Enjoy.
Notes
Recipe is for 1 pound of ground beef. I can typically get about 6 tacos out of this. If you need to make a larger batch just multiply the rest of the ingredients. The taco seasoning recipe is for 1 pound of beef.
