Learn how to recreate the iconic Taco Bell seasoned meat at home with this easy and flavorful recipe. Perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, and more!

Ingredients

Ground Beef Mixture:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon paste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Add ground beef to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned, using a meat chopper or potato masher to break the meat into very small pieces as it cooks.
  2. Add Seasonings: Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  3. Simmer: Continue cooking, breaking the meat apart as necessary, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  4. Serve: Use as desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 days.
  • You can substitute the spices with a packet of your favorite taco seasoning, or a packet of Taco Bell taco seasoning.
  • Breaking down the meat into very small pieces is just as important as getting the seasoning right for this copycat recipe. The longer the meat cooks, the easier it becomes to break it down.
