Description

This recipe is a family favorite. It is quick and easy to make and I’m sure you will love it.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1 whole Onion, Chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1-½ pound Ground Beef
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Oregano
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ cups Tomato Sauce
  • ½ cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar

Preparation

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat till shimmering but not smoking. Fry onions and garlic, stirring occasionally till translucent, about 2 minutes. Add ground beef and chop repeatedly till beef has desired consistency. Halfway though frying the meat, about 5 minutes, drain the excess grease. If you don’t have extra grease, skip this step. When ground beef is finished , about 10 minutes total frying, add in remainder of ingredients. Stir till combined and simmer till liquid has reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes. Mixture will not be completely dry, but will not be runny either.

Feel free to add stuff into the taco meat. I will occasionally add a can of beans or a diced pepper.

Serve with tortillas and your favorite taco toppings.

These look just the thing to feed the family tonight. My kids are very suspicious of ANYTHING new, but these look mild enough to please them yet tasty enough that we’ll enjoy them too! ALWAYS on the lookout for tried-and-tested family favourites! Thanks very much

They look yummy.. Do they have beans in them? It looks like they do but don’t see beans listed.

I made these last night and they were awesome. I have been looking for a good taco recipe and this is it. I hate using store bought seasoning packets and now I don’t have to. Thank you so much for sharing. I didn’t have cumin or corriander and it still turned out amazing.

Found myself without that packet of taco seasoning…luckily, I found this! It was very good, though next time, I’ll skip the brown sugar and vinegar. Also, I didn’t have cumin or coriander, so used extra chili seasoning. I will use this recipe instead of the packet every time!
