Best Beef Tacos Recipe

Taco night happens on a very regular basis in our home.  I am telling you, your family will go nuts for this ultra simple beef taco recipe. It’s full of so much flavor, tastes a lot like restaurant style tacos. No joke.

Let me tell you what we do…I’ve shared the stovetop version of this recipe which is amazing on its’ own. Be sure to also try this in the slow cooker. Once you cook it as directed below, transfer it to a crock pot and let it cook on low for 3-6 hours. Sooooo good.  Enjoy friends!

How to Make Ground Beef Tacos

Finely chop a large onion and saute in a couple tablespoons of olive oil.

Add some garlic, cook and stir for 5 minutes or so until softened.

Add 1 pound of lean ground beef.

Season with kosher salt.

Freshly ground black pepper.

Cook and stir until browned.

Here’s the secret ingredient. Salsa Verde. I prefer the Herdez brand, but use whatever you can find in your grocery store.

Pour your salsa into your cooked beef and add some ground cumin too.

Give this baby a good stir and reduce heat to low until you are ready to serve. Transfer to a crock pot if desired or serve right away. Both are great options.

We LOVE the soft tortillas you can get at most grocery stores, Trader Joe’s and other health food type grocery stores. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes and a drizzle of equal parts ranch dressing and salsa verde. Perfection! Enjoy!
