MEXICAN TACOS
Traditional Mexican beef tacos are made with marinated sliced or shredded beef on soft corn tortillas.  Those are great!  But, that’s not what most Americans think of when we think of classic tacos.
BEST GROUND BEEF TACO RECIPE
Most of us grew up eating ground beef tacos in a crispy corn shell or a soft flour tortilla, with lots of toppings.  That’s the traditional taco we’re making in this recipe.  But, we’re not using a pre-packaged taco seasoning mix.  This recipe uses a flavorful homemade taco seasoning.
WHAT KIND OF GROUND BEEF FOR TACOS?
Lean ground beef is the best beef to use for making tacos because you don’t need to drain off any fat after cooking it. There is just enough fat in the beef to make it super flavorful, but not so much to make it greasy.  Skipping the step to drain the fat makes this a quick and easy taco recipe.
Of course, if you have ground beef with more fat, you can still use it in this recipe. Â Just cook the beef and drain off the f at before you add the taco seasonings.
HOW TO MAKE TACOS
Break apart lean ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and pepper.
