Instructions
- In a medium skillet, heat oil until shimmering and add ground beef. Cook until almost browned. Drain any excess grease, if necessary (see note).
- Add onion and cook until ground beef is browned and onion is translucent.
- Add taco seasoning and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add tomato paste, broth, vinegar, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer until almost all of the liquid is reduced in the pan, about 5-8 minutes.
- Serve however you like your tacos! You can find a tutorial for frying your own taco shells here.
Notes
- I use 90% lean ground beef in most recipes, just because that is what we usually get from our steers we raise and I usually need to add oil and don't have any excess grease. You can use 80% if you like that, just drain off the excess grease before adding any additional ingredients and skip adding the oil at the beginning.
- This is my Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe, it's easy to throw together and delicious.
