Cooking Instructions
- Take a large cast-iron skillet and heat it on the stovetop on medium heat. Once the skillet is preheated, add 1 Tbsp olive oil.
- Once the olive oil is hot, toss in some fresh garlic, diced onion, and bell peppers. Cook while stirring occasionally, till the onions are translucent and the veggies turn soft.
- Take the ground beef out of its package and add it to the skillet. Use a spatula/large spoon to break the meat into smaller pieces and cook until the beef becomes brown.
- Drain the excess grease carefully from your pan before adding the seasoning. Pour the excess oil into a container for disposal later.
- Now, add in the beef seasoning – Alcoeats kashmiri chili powder, Alcoeats cumin powder, Mexican oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt.
- Cook the mix for about 2-3 mins, then taste and adjust the seasoning as per preferences.
- Now, scoop out some of the ground beef and place it on your taco shell, then top it with your preferred toppings – i.e., grated cheese, tomatoes, and sour cream.
- Done! Serve and enjoy this easy soft beef taco recipe!
