Steps:
- Heat the oil to medium or medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally until onion begins to turn translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic and saute another 2 minutes.
- Make space for the ground beef and place the ground beef directly onto the skillet. Allow one side to brown for 3 to 5 minutes without touching it (you can stir around the onions during this process so they don't burn).
- Flip the meat and allow the other side to brown 3 to 5 minutes.
- Use a spatula to break the meat into smaller chunks. Sprinkle all of the taco seasoning over the meat.
- Continue breaking up the meat and stirring until well combined, but don't cook the beef all the way through just yet.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Bring mixture to a full boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cover with a lid and cook 10 to 15 minutes, until beef is cooked through and sauce has thickened.
- Taste for flavor and add lime juice, sea salt, and/or hot sauce or salsa to taste.

Steps:
- Combine all the spices in a bowl. Start browning the ground beef, breaking up with a spatula as you go. Stir in the seasoning and the water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook about 20 minutes until most of the liquid is gone. Serve in tacos, nachos, burritos, etc.
RESTAURANT-STYLE TACO MEAT SEASONING
This tastes very close to the taco seasoning favored by a very popular fast-food taco restaurant. You can make this at home, and let your family prepare tacos the way they like.

TACO MEAT - RESTAURANT STYLE
No browned or fried ground beef here. This is cooked in water. YES, in water. Resulting in that nicely steamed, soft texture you get in most Mexican restaurants.

Steps:
- Put the ground chuck in a large pot or Dutch oven and add seasonings.
- Add just enough water to cover the meat, bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for about an hour.
- Every 15 minutes or so break up the meat with a large spoon or a potato masher so that it isn't lumpy. Be sure always to keep just enough water to cover the meat.
- After an hour add the onion and bell pepper and simmer another 20 minutes. The meat should be very finely textured at this point.
- Remove from the heat, pour into a strainer over a large bowl, and let the meat sit in the strainer for 10 or 15 minutes to make sure all grease drains away, pressing it a few times.
- After the meat has drained as much as possible, place the bowl of liquid (which you want to keep) and grease in the freezer for a while. When grease separates and hardens on top, take a spoon and remove all of it. Retain about a cup of the degreased liquid.
- Place reserved liquid in a pan and bring to a boil. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of corn starch in 1/4 cup of cold water and add to the liquid, simmering 4 or 5 more minutes. Add reserved meat into the pan and mix liquid well into meat.
- Serve in taco shells or tortillas, or mix into a taco salad or casserole.
- Leftovers freeze well.
TACO MEAT
This recipe makes just the taco meat. You have to buy everything else, of course. Make a big batch and use for a multiple of different meals: add to bean burritos for a more hearty and tasty burrito, or add a can of beans (kidney, red, or pinto) and use for Frito® Pie, Navajo tacos, or taco salad.
