Taco Filling

  • 2 pounds grass-fed ground beef or ground buffalo (or both)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • smidge cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup filtered water

In a 4 quart stock pot, brown ground meat over medium heat. Drain excess grease. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add all other ingredients. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes to let flavors mingle. If too much water has evaporated, add a little at a time to desired consistency. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve in whole wheat tortillas with refried beans and desired taco garnishes.

    This is the first time I’ve ever made tacos without a seasoning packet! Until this week, I didn’t even know the seasoning packets had things in there that aren’t good for you! When I heard that, I turned to your website, and there…you had a recipe. And it was delicious! I think it’s also cheaper to do it this way, too. Thanks Wardeh!

    I made this recipe tonight, but used meat from a chicken I had cooked in my crockpot all day. It was fabulous with chicken meat!
