Taco Meat

Submitted by ChrisMc

"This is the closest I've found to Taco Bell's ground beef - this version is a bit less oily (or a bit drier, depending on one's point of view) - adding 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil changes that."

I love this recipe. I cook for my husband, 2 yr old daughter and my father, all of which have completely different tastes. This is a great dish that is easy to make and even easier to adapt to my families taste. I do add cumin for a little extra flavor but other than that we love the texture and moistness.

I thought this recipe was great!!! I have to double the recipe though because I feed 5 people usually with it. I don't double the chili powder because it's a little too spicy for the little ones :-) Plus, we use venison so I do add a little veggie oil to it so it doesn't end up too dry. Absolutely delicious!!!

I used a full pound of meat so I doubled all the ingredients (except for the flour and salt)... I liked the texture of the meat with the addition of the flour... it really allows the meat to crumble into smaller pieces rather than chunks... I thought it was quite salty but that is easily remedied... and would add in some cayenne pepper next time for some kick... Otherwise, it was really easy to throw together and my BF really enjoyed his soft tacos with this meaty filling... Thanks for sharing!!!
