Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 4 days and can be reheated on the stovetop. To reheat, add a splash of water so the taco meat doesn't dry out.
- Freezing Instructions: Allow the taco meat to cool down completely, then place in freezer-safe storage containers or ziplock bags for up to 3 months.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of tomato paste and water, you can simply use tomato sauce.
- Instead of chili powder, you can use paprika.
