Taco Meat

Why even buy the seasoning packet, when it's so easy to do it yourself and you don't have any weird seasoning additives either? Exactly, and that's why I find myself on Ellis Eats grabbing this great taco recipe. Thanks again, Nakita!

Serves 4

2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 pound ground beef
1 to 3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and chopped onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat into smaller chunks, until it is cooked through.

Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for a minute and then add the tomato sauce. Turn the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer the meat mixture for at least 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
