RESTAURANT STYLE TACO MEAT SEASONING



Restaurant Style Taco Meat Seasoning image

I loathe store bought taco seasoning. The flavor of it is so overpowering that you can hardly taste anything else on your taco! I found this recipe and adapted it a bit to suit my own tastes. I'm posting it on here mostly to be able to find it whenever I want to make it again. **NOTE: sometimes i substitute 1 tsp of store-bought taco seasoning in place of 1 tsp chili powder. you can't pick the flavor of the store-bought stuff out and it helps bring the flavors together a bit**

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 pan

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs ground chuck
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 onion, finely minced

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.
