Description
A delightful and versatile seasoned ground beef recipe perfect for any taco night, blending savory flavors with a touch of spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (optional)
- Taco shells or tortillas, for serving
Instructions
- Brown the meat: Start by heating the skillet over medium heat. Add the pound of ground beef, allowing it to sizzle and transform into a beautiful shade of brown. Use your wooden spoon to break it into smaller pieces. Drain excess fat afterward for a leaner filling.
- Sauté the onion and garlic: Next, sprinkle in the diced onion and minced garlic. Watch as the onions soften and turn translucent, releasing their sweet flavor into the fragrant mix. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Spice it up: Now, stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat the beef evenly with the spices, creating a flavorful blend that envelops every morsel.
- Add the bell peppers: If you choose, toss in the diced bell peppers. Their vibrant colors will brighten the dish while they cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve with love: Once the beef is fully cooked and seasoned to perfection, serve it in taco shells or warm tortillas, letting your guests enjoy the deliciousness with their favorite toppings.
