The BEST Taco Recipe
Perfectly seasoned taco meat makes this the BEST taco recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 lb . Ground Beef
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 diced anaheim pepper substitute jalapeno or habanero to crank up the spicy
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- Bell Peppers
- Fresh Garlic to taste
- Olive Oil
- Taco Fixings
- Diced onion
- Shredded Lettuce
- Shredded Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Salsa
- Diced Tomato
Instructions
-
Remove the top of the bell peppers and remove the inner flesh and seeds leaving a nice cup. If you would prefer the pepper crunchy, you can stop and proceed to the taco filling. To soften the pepper and make it a little easier to eat, bring some water to a boil and submerge the peppers for 1-2 minutes. You can then place them in a 350° oven for 7-10 minutes.
-
In a skillet on medium high heat, warm up 1-2 tbsp of olive oil. Add ½ cup diced onion, diced Anaheim pepper (or spicier pepper), and minced garlic to skillet. Sautee this mixture for 2-3 minutes. Add ground beef and brown thoroughly. When finished drain the ground beef and rinse out the skillet. When fully drained place the ground beef mixture back into the skillet.
-
Per the instructions on the taco seasoning, add the seasoning to the meat and reduce on low-medium heat.
-
Fill the peppers with the meat and choice of fixings and eat.
