Name: Best Ground Beef Taco Meat
Cook time: 30 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons avocado or canola oil; 1 pound lean ground beef; ¾ cup finely chopped yellow onion; 1 jalapeno (seeded, and very finely chopped); 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 cup (1 8-ounce can) tomato sauce; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 2 teaspoons chili powder; ½ teaspoon dried oregano; ½ teaspoon garlic powder; 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Method

In a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add ground beef, the chopped onion and chopped jalapeno if using, with the kosher salt. Using a wooden spatula or ground meat chopping tool, break beef into small pieces as the mixture cooks. Cook until onions are soft and translucent and beef is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, and cornstarch and stir to combine evenly with the meat and onions.
Let mixture simmer in the tomato sauce until sauce is glossy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve*.
Cooled mixture can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen up to 3 months. *Use in tacos, on nachos, in burritos, over totchos, or mixed with cheese sauce for a queso con carne.
