Best Ground Beef Tacos

Ingredients

• •1 lb. ground beef (80% lean)
• •1 T. chili powder
• •½ tsp. salt
• •¾ tsp. cumin
• •½ tsp. dried Mexican oregano
• •¼ tsp. granulated garlic
• •¼ tsp. granulated onion
• •½ cup tomato sauce
• •8 white corn tortillas
• •½ cup oil (avocado or olive)

Instructions

1. Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon while cooking. Cook ground beef fully, until browned and no pink remains.
2. Drain: Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Return to the stove, reduce heat to low.
3. Season: Add the ½ cup tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir together until the meat is coated in sauce.
4. Simmer: Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Fry Tortillas: Pour ½ cup oil in a medium size skillet, heat over medium high heat. Carefully dip a tortilla, if the oil sizzles and bubbles then it's hot enough. Gently lay the tortilla in the oil and fry each side for about 30 seconds, just enough to give some color and add some crispness.
6. Shape Tortillas: Remove the tortilla to a paper towel to absorb oil, and carefully fold the tortilla over to create a taco shape. Use tongs, or two forks.
7. Toppings: Fill the tortillas with the ground beef taco meat and add desired toppings: avocado, tomatoes, sour cream, sliced black olives, beans, shredded cheese, lettuce.
