Need Taco Help!

This is my first time making Tacos and I was wondering if anyone knows how to 'Brown' the meat? I was told to use 1 lb. of Ground Beef. Now how do I cook that? In a frying pan with oil? I'm totally lost.

Re: Need Taco Help!

you just put in a frying pan - you don't need any oil - even the lowest-fat meat will make enough fat to prevent anything from sticking.

Don't forget to spice it up.

I had planned to make the same thing tonight but decided not to. I will make it tomorrow night.

Yes just brown it in the pan & add the taxo mix. We do this once a week!

We use sour cream, taco sauce, taco cheese, lettuce, tomatoe and we warm the tortillas on the burners yummy!!!!

Re: Need Taco Help!

yes, you got it right....SOOOOOOO GOOD, after browning you can drain the fat out of the pan, (you can use a spaghetti strainer if you have problems keeping meat in pan). this helps cut a little fat out.

I am jealous, I can't tacos

Re: Need Taco Help!

When making hard tacos, I brown the meat and add it to the tortilla shell with shredded cheese on top. Then I bake them for a few minutes. The taco is much easier to work with if you bake it with the meat and cheese. Otherwise they break when you stuff them :)

Re: Need Taco Help!

i recently found hunts mexican stewed tomatoes...it is so easy...brown the meat...then add the sauce (usually one can is good for 2 lbs)

otherwise...i do it myself with a small can of tomato sauce...cumin (essential) and other spices...
