Have you ever stopped to look at the ingredients in your package of taco seasoning? If you have, you’d notice that most contain things like maltodextrin, corn starch, vegetable oil (canola, high oleic soybean and/or sunflower oil), corn flour, silicon dioxide (anticaking agent), citric acid, and sugar. I can’t even tell you what some of these things are, but I know enough to know that they are highly processed or modified ingredients.
I came across a taco recipe a few years ago for tacos, and I’ve adjusted it to fit our family.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (we prefer 90/10 or 93/7 because this recipe doesn’t allow you to drain the meat)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground Comino
1 - 3 tbsp Cholula Hot Sauce
The more Cholula you use the spicier your meat will be, start small if you are sensitive to spice!
Step one:
Add your raw ground meat, spices, and Cholula to a skillet. Mix all ingredients together and cook until your meat is thoroughly browned.
I personally prefer to mix all ingredients well before I turn the heat up on my stove. You can mix in a bowl or in a skillet, whichever you prefer.
Step two:
Once you have thoroughly browned your ground meat, you are ready to serve. Add this delicious taco meat to your favorite salad, tortillas, chips, queso, etc., and enjoy!
