Steps:
- Put the ground chuck in a large pot or Dutch oven and add seasonings.
- Add just enough water to cover the meat, bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for about an hour.
- Every 15 minutes or so break up the meat with a large spoon or a potato masher so that it isn't lumpy. Be sure always to keep just enough water to cover the meat.
- After an hour add the onion and bell pepper and simmer another 20 minutes. The meat should be very finely textured at this point.
- Remove from the heat, pour into a strainer over a large bowl, and let the meat sit in the strainer for 10 or 15 minutes to make sure all grease drains away, pressing it a few times.
- After the meat has drained as much as possible, place the bowl of liquid (which you want to keep) and grease in the freezer for a while. When grease separates and hardens on top, take a spoon and remove all of it. Retain about a cup of the degreased liquid.
- Place reserved liquid in a pan and bring to a boil. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of corn starch in 1/4 cup of cold water and add to the liquid, simmering 4 or 5 more minutes. Add reserved meat into the pan and mix liquid well into meat.
- Serve in taco shells or tortillas, or mix into a taco salad or casserole.
- Leftovers freeze well.

- Add ground beef to a large pan or Dutch oven with about 1/2 cup of water and the salt. Set burner to medium heat and as the pan warms, work with the ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces. A potato masher works well for this. Continue to break up the beef as it cooks, and when water is evaporated and there is no longer any pink in the beef, drain excess grease. If necessary, more water mayb be added by the quarter cupful if the beef is still pink by the time the water has evaporated. If the heat is at medium and the beef is cooking slowly, it should be fine as is. Add the cumin and pepper, and if using, a pinch of red pepper flakes and stir.
- While beef is cooking, add tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno to a blender with a splash of water if needed to get blender going, and mix until no chunks remain. The goal is to have this mixture at the ready; when the beef is cooked and the water is gone and the excess fat drained, you’ll want to immediately add the tomatoe mixture right after cumin and pepper are stirred in.
- Spread the beef apart in the pan and push it up against the edges. Add in the tomato mixture at once to center of pan. It will dance and sizzle. Cook, stirring the beef into the tomatoe mixture now and then, and then pushing the beef back up to the sides until almost all the liquid is gone. Stir together final time. Taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper if desired. Immediately remove from heat.
