This is my go to beef taco meat recipe.

Most of the time I make my taco meat this way instead of storing taco seasoning, I just find it easier and one less thing for me to store.

But I do have a Homemade Taco Seasoning that is really good. It's really just a matter of preference.

Make a batch of taco seasoning to have on hand and ready to use at any time or use this taco meat recipe if you don't want to store a jar of taco seasoning.

What spices to put in taco meat?

I use chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.

You can also replace the onion and garlic powder for fresh which I also do sometimes. Use 1 small onion chopped and 4-6 cloves garlic, minced in place of the onion and garlic powder.

You can also add cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to boost the heat. Change up the flavors by adding smoked paprika or chipotle powder.

To thaw place in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as necessary.

You can also make ahead and store covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

A few extra tips about this beef taco meat:
