The beginning of the year has kicked off with a big bang here at On Track Training so I apologize for low activity here at the blog post station. Today’s recipe will warm you up as the big chill hits us and will take you all through the year. Who doesn’t like traditionally spiced taco seasoning to change up their meat recipe choices?
This recipe can be used with any meat of your choice either ground or sliced into small bites. Eat the meat mixed with rice, potatoes, black beans or served over a bed of greens as a salad, it would be delish scrambled with some eggs or inside an egg white omelette, oh the options!
I have searched and played around with a good taco seasoning mix and never really hit it quite right, I refuse buying pre-packaged taco mix. Wouldn’t you know, good ole’ Alton Brown never fails, his is now my go to recipe, Taco Potion #19 . This recipe is for 1 pound of meat.
2 T chili powder
1 T ground cumin
2 t cornstarch
2 t kosher salt
1.5 t hot smoked paprika
1 t ground coriander
1/2 t cayenne pepper
Put all of the ingredients in a jar and shake or in a bowl and fork mix.
Now on to the recipe that will get you your meal:
Put a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in your pan which has been heated over a medium burner. Add one chopped onion and cook some of the water out of it, 4/5 minutes. Add two pounds of ground or thinly sliced meat of your choice, 1 t salt and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until meat is done, 4/5 minutes and then add taco potion above and 2/3 C beef or chicken broth (depending on what meat you choose). Bring back to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Enjoy!!
How do you like to serve your taco seasoned meat?
