What are the Ingredients of Ground Beef
Tacos?
Ingredients
- Ground beef: The best meat to use for taco meat is
plain ground beef, which is 70-80% lean. The fat helps to flavor the meat and
we are able to remove the fat before serving.
- Tomato Sauce: Grab any type of canned, pure tomato
sauce. Or if you want more spice you can use thick salsa instead.
- Oil: Used for frying turtles. Use canola or
vegetable oil.
- Tortillas: Fry the white corn tortillas perfectly to
make a crispy taco shell. You can use flour tortillas if you want and you can't
fry them. I would recommend using 6-inch tortillas.
How to make Ground Beef Tacos in 2 steps?
- Cook the ground beef, and cook until it is completely browned. Remove the grease. Then when we return to the heat on the stove, reduce the heat, and add the homemade taco spice and a small amount of tomato sauce. Let the taco meat simmer in the sauce for a while to add more flavor.
- Fry corn tortillas in a small pan in a small amount of oil. After frying on both sides, remove the tortillas and fold them in half to form them. Fill taco shells with cooked beef and desired toppings.
