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.

Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then shred the meat into bite-size pieces or cut into strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill and wrap in a kitchen towel to stay warm.

BEST EVER TACO MEAT

Steps:

• brown oil, meat, potato, onion, bell pepper, salt, black and red pepper (flakes), garlic powder, and cumin to a large dutch oven or big skillet -- drain if necessary.
• Add to this the rest of the ingredients, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes -- til all the ingredients are soft. Then, remove from heat, and take a potato masher or something like that, and grind the entire pot to a mushy consistency -- VERY IMPORTANT STEP. Once it looks like thick oatmeal, cover, and simmer for another 30 minutes and stir to keep from sticking --.
• * The beans in this recipe is a product found in Texas grocery stores, but all it is, is canned, cooked, whole pinto beans in a Mexican chili powder sauce. The addition of the beans is important to keep the mixture thick. To improvise, add a can of plain canned pinto beans, don't drain, and add a tablespoon or to taste of just plain old Mexican chili powder -- It really adds another dimension of flavor with the cumin.
• Be sure to taste along the way -- you may like it spicier, saltier, whatever, but here are the basics to use -- just taste along the way.
