Classic Ground Beef Tacos

"The key to these Classic Ground Beef Taco is how you cook the ground beef. Sure, you can open one of those taco seasoning packets and dump it into the pan with some water. Nice and easy. We’ve done that (and still do that) on occasion. But I have to say that taking the extra few minutes to make your own seasoned ground beef is well worth the time! In this case, the seasoned ground beef for these Classic Ground Beef Tacos started with some onions + garlic and then a handful of various spices. Ok, so far so good. But the unusual piece is the tomato sauce. We’re not making spaghetti sauce here – we’re making seasoned beef. So what’s up with the tomato sauce? That’s the thing – the ½ cup of tomato sauce adds a tangy depth of flavor without turning the beef into a sauce. I also like to add ¼ cup of water or (if I have it around) chicken stock. All together, you’ll end up with a seasoned ground beef that is perfect – and I mean perfect – for tacos!"
