This recipe offers a delightful and easy way to prepare taco filling from scratch, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite.
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Using lean ground beef reduces excess grease, making the dish healthier.
Cook the beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Ensure the beef is evenly browned for consistent flavor.
While the beef is cooking, finely chop the onion and garlic.
Chopping the onion and garlic finely ensures they blend well into the filling.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sauté until softened.
Sautéing the onion and garlic releases their natural sweetness, enhancing the dish.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste, cumin, coriander, chili powder, paprika, and salt with water to form a sauce.
Mixing the spices with water ensures even distribution in the filling.
Pour the sauce into the pan with the beef and stir well to combine.
Stirring thoroughly ensures the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
Simmer the mixture uncovered until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the taco filling in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Warm tortillas enhance the overall taco experience. Enjoy!
