Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • ½ cup beef broth

Taco Assembly

  • 8 taco-size flour tortillas
  • Shredded lettuce (optional)
  • Shredded cheese (optional)
  • Diced tomatoes (optional)
  • Sour cream (optional)
  • Avocado slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: Separate the ground beef into 3-4 large chunks and place them in a large, greased skillet over medium heat. Brown for 2-3 minutes without disturbing the meat to develop a good sear.
  2. Season and Break Up Meat: Flip the meat chunks and season with salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin. Continue to brown for another 3-5 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a spatula until fully cooked and browned.
  3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Stir in the tomato sauce and beef broth, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the mixture has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the seasoned ground beef to heated flour tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, cheese, diced tomatoes, sour cream, avocado, or any toppings you prefer. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Makes enough filling for about 8 tacos.
  • Customize toppings based on your preference.
  • Lean ground beef keeps tacos lower in fat.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste for spiciness or saltiness.
  • Flour tortillas are standard, but corn tortillas can be substituted for gluten-free option.
