GROUND BEEF TACOS RECIPE
Liven up taco night with this simple but tasty recipe! Ground beef tacos are always a family favorite, and we think this recipe is the best!
Ingredients
Taco Meat:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp oregano
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp sugar
Additional Ingredients To Make Tacos:
- 8 crunchy corn taco shells
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 2 Tbsp per taco
- 2 cups finely shredded iceberg lettuce 1/4 cup per taco
- 2 roma tomatoes diced (about 2 Tbsp per taco)
- ½ cup sour cream 1 tbsp per taco
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium high heat until the meat is completely browned. Use a paper towel to drain off any fat.
- Add the salt, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir just until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
- Turn heat to medium or medium low and add the tomato sauce, chicken broth, and sugar. Stir together, then simmer until thickened, 5-10 minutes.
- While the meat is simmering, prepare your toppings. Wash and dice the lettuce and tomatoes, and grate the cheese. And of course prep any other toppings you are using.
- To serve, you can let people assemble their own tacos, or you can put them together yourself and place them in a serving dish.
Notes
- You can of course use soft corn tortillas or flour tortillas, the nutrition will just vary.
- To make the meat stretch further, I like to add a can of black or refried beans. You can either add more filling to each taco, or plan on needing 10-12 taco shells.
