Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon sea salt

Taco Seasoning

2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Taco Seasoning (if needed)

If you don't already have taco seasoning prepared, combine chili powder, minced garlic, ground cumin, minced onion, oregano and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.

Taco Meat

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and crumble it breaking it up and cooking until completely browned, approximately 6-8 minutes. Drain grease if necessary (see note).
Add taco seasoning, salt and tomato paste over the meat. Stir to combine.
Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened and moisture absorbs into the meat, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Enjoy as you would any taco meat.

Notes

Note on draining grease: I don't drain grease because I'm not worried about consuming fats when eating sustainably-raised meats. Feel free to drain if you are more comfortable.
