NOT REALLY TACO BELL'S TACO MEAT
If you read the ingredients in Taco Bell's taco meat, there's cocoa powder (as here) and smoky flavorings (so the smoked paprika here). But there's also an "oat isolate" which undoubtedly thickens the mixture to give it that characteristic, smooth consistency. We can match that with steel-cut oats, which absorb much of the excess liquid, especially during the natural release, to give the meat its much-beloved texture. Many copycat recipes are also soupy and require thickening afterwards (or worse yet, draining, which removes much of the aromatic flavor you worked to get into the dish in the first place). We solve the soupiness with low pressure which requires much less liquid.

Steps:
- Press Sauté and set for Medium, Normal or Custom 300°F.
- As the pot heats, warm the oil in the insert set in a 5- or 6-quart Instant Pot. Crumble in the ground beef and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the crumbled bouillon cubes, onion flakes, chili powder, cocoa powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sugar, onion powder, and cayenne until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the steel-cut oats and stir well. Pour in the water and scrape up any browned bits on the pot's bottom. Turn off the heat and lock the lid on the pot.
- Set the Instant Pot for Pressure Cook/Manual and set to LOW pressure for 6 minutes.
- When the pot has finished cooking, turn it off and let the pressure return to normal naturally, about 15 minutes. Unlatch the lid and open the cooker. Stir well and set aside for a couple of minutes so the meat continues to absorb the sauce.
TACO BELL TACOS
I love the "fake"-ish meat in Taco Bell tacos... I'm hoping this recipe will come close to achieving that thick, greasy, salty meat I love!

TACO BELL TACO MEAT FOR SOFT OR HARD SHELLS
I use the Top Secret Recipe cookbooks and have found the Taco Bell Beef Soft Tacos taste pretty close, enough that we don't go there anymore! I use this meat for crunchy homemade tacos as well. This recipe calls for fat-free flour tortillas, and cheese. I have made them both ways-fat full and fat free.
