Instructions

  1. In a skillet on the stovetop, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until rippled and glistening in the pan.
  2. Break up the ground beef and add to the pan. Using a spatula chop up the ground beef into the smallest possible bits and heat until the pink in the meat has turned to brown.
  3. Reduce the heat to low. Add the ⅔ cup of water and the seasoning packet to the meat. Mix well and place a lid on the frying pan. Simmer with lid on for 3-4 minutes until the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat. Serve hot.

Notes

  • SUBSTITUTIONS
  • Ground Beef - you can use any of the following and it works out just fine: ground chicken, ground turkey, ground pork, any % ground beef, EVP, vegetarian crumbles, tofu, shrimp and fish.
  • Old El Paso Seasoning - You can use a different brand, but I don't recommend it. There are recipes out there for seasoning copycats. If you have never made tacos before, stick with the Old El Paso Taco Instructions first before branching out.
  • Taco Shells and Fixings - there's a whole world of toppings and shells, use any that you like and see the list below for some ideas
  • While ground beef is the recommended meat for this recipe, you can easily use ground turkey, EVP, ground chicken, ground pork or even sausage.
  • Chopped or shredded chicken makes a nice taco too!
  • Toppings and sauces make all the difference! Try something new and you'll be so surprised!
  • Drain the ground meat well after browning it if there is a lot of grease in the pan.
  • Only spoon about 1-2 Tbs of ground meat into your taco shell for the right balance of ingredients.
  • For added flavor, you can add some chili seasoning or simply use two packets per pound of ground beef.
  • Add more heat by adding Cayenne (be careful!)
  • More flavor using garlic powder and onion powder.
