BEST GROUND BEEF TACO RECIPE

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

GROUND BEEF TACO MEAT

Steps:

• Heat the oil to medium or medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally until onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic and saute another 2 minutes.
• Make space for the ground beef and place the ground beef directly onto the skillet. Allow one side to brown for 3 to 5 minutes without touching it (you can stir around the onions during this process so they don't burn).
• Flip the meat and allow the other side to brown 3 to 5 minutes.
• Use a spatula to break the meat into smaller chunks. Sprinkle all of the taco seasoning over the meat.
• Continue breaking up the meat and stirring until well combined, but don't cook the beef all the way through just yet.
• Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Bring mixture to a full boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Cover with a lid and cook 10 to 15 minutes, until beef is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
• Taste for flavor and add lime juice, sea salt, and/or hot sauce or salsa to taste.
