The Best Meat Tacos image

I learned this simple recipe from my mother and so far everyone loves them. I have not had them anywhere else.

Provided by Chef Dora

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb lean ground meat
1 -2 potato
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning

Steps:

  • I peel 1 large or 2 medium small potatoes and cook them in water until soft. Then I cook 1/2 pound ground meat. When meat is almost done I sprinkle salt and pepper. When meat is done, I transfer meat to a medium size bowl and mix potatoes with meat. (Mix to an almost mushy consistency). Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large frying pan warm cooking oil. In the mean time on another burner warm the corn tortillas, (so that when you stuff the tortillas they won't break)then cuff the tortilla in one hand, with a spoon add meat mixture to tortilla.
  • Gently put the taco in the oil and fry tortilla turning only once when one side is crisp.
  • When serving you may add picante sauce, guacamole, cheese or whatever else you please. Enjoy!

THE BEST GROUND BEEF TACOS ON THE PLANET.



The Best Ground Beef Tacos on the Planet. image

OK, I MIGHT be a bit over confident in the title... but my family doesn't think so! This takes just a little bit of work and some time to simmer and will (IMHO) make you completely incapable of ever using a taco seasoning packet again. Try not to use dried onion or garlic as it really does make a huge difference in the end product. You may need to play with the amounts of the chile powder and crushed red pepper depending on how hot you like your taco meat. This recipe is reasonably mild, but YMMV Finally, try to get some high quality chile powder made with a blend including ancho and chipotle chiles. Most bulk "chile powder" out there has salt, garlic and "other spices" in it and is not even CLOSE to as good as the "real" thing! I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does!

Categories     Meat

Time 55m

Yield 2 lbs, 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 lbs lean ground beef
5 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
2 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 -2 cup water

Steps:

  • in a large skillet, cook the diced onion for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat, just until they start to go translucent.
  • Add the ground beef and cook until it is nearly, but not quite, all browned.
  • Add the minced garlic and continue cooking until the ground beef is completely browned through.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients, including enough water to ensure the spices get evenly distributed throughout the mixture, but not so much that it's going to take forever to cook off.
  • Simmer until the tomatoes are cooked through and the mixture is dry enough to put in a taco shell. - How dry that is, is completely up to you and your taste!
