This taco meat recipe makes the best filling for tacos. You have to buy everything else, of course. Make a big batch and use it for multiple different meals: add to bean burritos or mix with a can of beans (kidney, red, or pinto) and use for Frito pie, Navajo tacos, or taco salad.

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, or more to taste

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
Season beef with onion powder, garlic salt, celery salt, and cumin. Pour tomato sauce over beef, stir to coat, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Cook’s Note

I sometimes use a 15-ounce can of tomato sauce to make it stretch further.
