Mom's Ground Beef Tacos
Tired of the packaged taco seasoning mix? Try this deliciously simple ground beef taco recipe for a quick last minute dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ medium yellow onion diced
- ½ green pepper diced
- 1 medium tomato diced
- 2 small cloves of garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- ¼ tsp oregano
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a cast iron skillet at medium until no pink meat is left.
- Add in the onion, green pepper and garlic while the ground beef is browning. Cook until the onions are translucent and green pepper is soft. About 7-10 min.
- Drain any excess fat if you so desire.
- Add in the chili powder, seasoning salt, cumin, oregano and chopped tomatos.
- Simmer for another 5 min on low for the spices to mesh with the meat and for the tomato to cook down.
- Serve warm with warmed soft shell tortillas or hard shells or as a taco salad for those paleo folks. See my favorite recipe for homemade sourdough tortillas.
- Top with your favorite toppings: shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, avocado, guacamole, onions, or any other desired topping.
