Description
Perfect seasoning for everyday ground beef tacos or taco bowls!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp Knorr beef or chicken (can use dry seasoning OR one bouillon cube)
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- **for a spicier flavor, add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and/ or 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 Roma tomato, diced into small squares
Instructions
- Start by cooking the ground beef in a skillet, making sure to use a wooden spoon to separate the meat.
- As the meat is cooking, chop the onion and the tomato.
- If meat is on the leaner side and not cooking off much grease: after the meat is about halfway cooked, add in the chopped onion to sauté as the beef continues to cook.
- If you are using a higher fat content beef, and there is a lot of grease: cook the meat fully and then drain the grease out by pouring the beef onto a plate or bowl lined with a few layers of paper towel. Then, pat the meat to remove excess grease. Next, sauté the onion in the pan alone and add the ground beef back to the pan when finished. Mix them together.
- Once onions and beef are cooked and combined, add in the diced tomato and let cook for 5 minutes.
- Now add in pressed garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Finally add in all remaining seasonings: paprika, Knorr beef or chicken seasoning, cumin, salt, and water. Bring to a boil and mix together. Then bring down to a simmer and allow the meat mixture to cook, until all liquids have reduced.
- Now your seasoned ground beef is ready to serve in tacos.
Notes
- You can use 3/4 cup beef or chicken broth as a substitution for Knorr seasoning/ bouillon cube and water.
- Use left over taco meat for nachos or on a taco salad!
