Provided by Chef Dora

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb lean ground meat
1 -2 potato
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon seasoning

Steps:

  • I peel 1 large or 2 medium small potatoes and cook them in water until soft. Then I cook 1/2 pound ground meat. When meat is almost done I sprinkle salt and pepper. When meat is done, I transfer meat to a medium size bowl and mix potatoes with meat. (Mix to an almost mushy consistency). Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large frying pan warm cooking oil. In the mean time on another burner warm the corn tortillas, (so that when you stuff the tortillas they won't break)then cuff the tortilla in one hand, with a spoon add meat mixture to tortilla.
  • Gently put the taco in the oil and fry tortilla turning only once when one side is crisp.
  • When serving you may add picante sauce, guacamole, cheese or whatever else you please. Enjoy!

BEST EVER TACO MEAT



Best Ever Taco Meat image

Mexican Taco Meat Filling--- This is absolutely the BEST recipe you will find for taco meat! This Taco Meat is from a long time restaurant in Arlington, Texas and I got it from our local paper 25 years ago. The restaurant is still there, but the recipe has changed -- Stick to this one -- Absolutely the BEST!

Provided by Luv2CookandEat

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 1 big pot of taco meat, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 -3 tablespoon oil (your choice, but vegetable oil is best, (not needed if meat is not the leanest)
3 lbs ground beef (this makes a big batch but it freezes well)
1 onion (medium diced)
1 bell pepper (diced, can use any color pepper, I use red)
1 medium potato, peeled and diced (trust me)
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes (including juice)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin (more or less given your taste)
1 (14 ounce) can ranch style beans (14 oz can-original flavor, DON'T STRAIN, this product is available in Texas)
2 teaspoons black pepper

Steps:

  • brown oil, meat, potato, onion, bell pepper, salt, black and red pepper (flakes), garlic powder, and cumin to a large dutch oven or big skillet -- drain if necessary.
  • Add to this the rest of the ingredients, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes -- til all the ingredients are soft. Then, remove from heat, and take a potato masher or something like that, and grind the entire pot to a mushy consistency -- VERY IMPORTANT STEP. Once it looks like thick oatmeal, cover, and simmer for another 30 minutes and stir to keep from sticking --.
  • * The beans in this recipe is a product found in Texas grocery stores, but all it is, is canned, cooked, whole pinto beans in a Mexican chili powder sauce. The addition of the beans is important to keep the mixture thick. To improvise, add a can of plain canned pinto beans, don't drain, and add a tablespoon or to taste of just plain old Mexican chili powder -- It really adds another dimension of flavor with the cumin.
  • Be sure to taste along the way -- you may like it spicier, saltier, whatever, but here are the basics to use -- just taste along the way.
  • You can use this Taco Meat in Burritos, Tacos, Taco Salads, Chalupas, you name it! It is awesome and everyone will be wanting this recipe from you.
