What Most People Don’t Know About Making GROUND BEEF TACOS
- Browning tip: Don’t stir too much at first...letting the beef sit helps build that golden crust and rich flavor.
- Balance your moisture: A splash of broth or water after seasoning keeps the meat juicy without being greasy.
- Layer with acid: Lime juice brightens the slaw and guac for a vibrant bite every time.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb lean ground beef (85–90% lean)
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Bald Buck Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp beef broth or water (optional, for extra moisture)

Instructions
- Cook the onion and garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Brown the beef: Add ground beef. Cook 5–7 minutes, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Season and add broth: Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and Bald Buck Seasoning. Add broth or water if needed for extra moisture. Simmer 2–3 minutes more.
- Make the slaw: Toss napa cabbage with lime juice and a pinch of Bald Buck Seasoning. Set aside.
- Mix the guacamole: Mash avocado with cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of Bald Buck Seasoning.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame, 30 seconds per side until warm and slightly charred.
