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. | Nutrition Information Disclaimer |
