Recipe of the Week: Ground Beef Tacos

Like most of the recipes that I share, this one is super simple and quick to make. This is my go-to taco seasoning that I use for with both ground beef and chicken. If you want a leaner meal switch the beef for ground chicken or diced chicken breast.

Enjoy! And let me know how you like this recipe. 

Ingredients:

For Taco Seasoning

– 1 teaspoon ground cumin

– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

– ½ teaspoon garlic powder

– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

For tacos:

– 1 lb ground beef

– Corn or flour tortillas*

– Salsa*

– Mexican shredded cheese*

– Avocado*

– Lime Juice*

– Lettuce*

*Optional toppings

Directions:

2. Cook, stirring and breaking apart the beef often, until it begins to brown. Add in the cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir well to disperse all the seasonings. Cook until the beef is just browned.

3. Serve the ground beef in tacos (warm corn or flour tortillas in the oven for a few minutes), on nachos or in salads. I like to top mine with a quick salsa, fresh lettuce, cheese,  and diced avocado.
