Ground Beef Tacos Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef ((450g))
• ¾ cup tomato sauce ((180mL))
• 2½ teaspoons chili powder
• 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 8 corn or flour tortillas ((see Notes for crispy shells))
• Pico de gallo
• Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• Shredded lettuce
• Chopped cilantro
• Sour cream

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Cook, stirring to break beef into small crumbles, until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain off any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.

2. 2

   Add the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer over medium. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened and the beef is well coated, about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   To assemble, spoon about ⅓ cup of the seasoned ground beef onto each warm tortilla. Serve with desired toppings.
