These ground beef tacos with homemade taco seasoning are a weekly staple in our household. They are both easy and quick to prepare and taste better than take-out.
What You Need to Make this Dish
There is only a handful of ingredients you need to prepare this dish, making it a great meal to prepare for when you have company!
- Grass fed ground beef – you can swap for elk, venison, or turkey.
- Avocado oil – I love cooking with avocado oil as it has one of the highest smoke points when compared to other oils.
- Homemade taco seasoning mix – so easy to make and smells delicious! I recommend making extra and storing leftovers in your spice cabinet.
- Bell peppers – get a variety of colors!
- Jalapeños – or use serrano peppers for added spice.
- Sliced avocado – to add healthy fats to this meal.
- Limes – to be used as a garnish
- Organic tortillas – look for a short ingredient list.
Other taco toppings could include:
- Cilantro lime rice
- Black beans or refried beans
- Salsa
- Tangy mango avocado salsa
- Pico de gallo
- Chopped onion
- Guacamole
- Cowboy caviar
- Tomatillo salsa verde
How to Prepare these Tasty Ground Beef Tacos
This 25-minute meal is one of my favorites to make when we have visitors. I’ll make a taco bar, adding a variety of different toppings included above, which then allows our guests to individualize their tacos towards their liking. I’ll also pair this meal with some margaritas. 😏
To make the tastiest tacos, follow these steps:
- In a large skillet, drizzle the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef.
- Break up the ground beef while cooking until browned. Drain the grease.
- Add the homemade taco seasoning mix and water, mixing well. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- While the beef is cooking, chop the peppers and place within an oiled skillet over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until the veggies are soft.
- Warm your tortillas. Then fill them with the taco meat and add desired toppings. Enjoy!
