BEST EVER TACO MEAT RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Best Ever Taco Meat Recipe - Food.com image

Mexican Taco Meat Filling--- This is absolutely the BEST recipe you will find for taco meat! This Taco Meat is from a long time restaurant in Arlington, Texas and I got it from our local paper 25 years ago. The restaurant is still there, but the recipe has changed -- Stick to this one -- Absolutely the BEST!

Total Time 1 hours

Prep Time 25 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Yield 1 big pot of taco meat, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -3 tablespoon oil (your choice, but vegetable oil is best, (not needed if meat is not the leanest)
3 lbs ground beef (this makes a big batch but it freezes well)
1 onion (medium diced)
1 bell pepper (diced, can use any color pepper, I use red)
1 medium potato, peeled and diced (trust me)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (including juice)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin (more or less given your taste)
1 (14 ounce) can ranch style beans (14 oz can-original flavor, DON'T STRAIN, this product is available in Texas)
2 teaspoons black pepper

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.
  • You can use this Taco Meat in Burritos, Tacos, Taco Salads, Chalupas, you name it! It is awesome and everyone will be wanting this recipe from you.

  • "In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients into the ground beef. Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a skillet over medium heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula, and break up the meat as it cooks. Heat for 5-6 minutes, or until browned. The finished product should be very smooth, somewhat pasty, with no large chunks of beef remaining. Heat tortillas in microwave 20-30 seconds, or until warm. Build each taco by spooning 2 to 3 tablespoons of the meat into a warm tortilla. Sprinkle cheese on top. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately. "
