When I first made this taco meat recipe, I was blown away by how something so simple could be so flavorful. It's now a staple in my kitchen, perfect for busy weeknights or casual get-togethers. The best part? It’s quick and easy, but tastes like you’ve been working on it for hours. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:​

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or homemade)
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped fresh cilantro, lime wedges, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and lettuce for serving

Instructions:​

1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's browned and cooked through. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
2. Add onions and garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Season the meat: Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the meat and stir well to coat. Let it cook for another minute to let the spices bloom.
4. Add tomato sauce and water: Pour in the tomato sauce and water. Stir everything together, making sure the meat is well coated with the sauce.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Spoon the taco meat into warm tortillas and top with your favorite taco toppings like fresh cilantro, lime wedges, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and lettuce.

This taco meat recipe is a game-changer. It's incredibly versatile—you can use it in tacos, burritos, nachos, or even salads. The flavors are bold and delicious, making it a hit every time. Give it a try, and I promise you'll be adding it to your regular meal rotation. Enjoy!
