Servings: 5 -6 tacos depending on how much meat you put in each
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef if you use anything less than 85% fat beef, you will probably need to drain it or it will be too greasy
- 3 Tablespoons chili powder
- 2 Tablespoons cumin
- 1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 2 - 4 cloves fresh garlic optional
- juice from 1 lime
Instructions
- Preheat cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Add meat - you can crumble it like my husband does as he adds it OR break it apart in the pan if you don't like touching the raw meat
- Add the spices.
- Mix the spices and meat.
- Cook over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the meat is cooked through.
Notes
Extra heat is optional and depends on your desired spice level.
You can crisp the beef once you cook the meat totally by heating the burner to a medium high setting. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef gets a darker color and some of the liquid is cooked down. This only takes about five minutes.
