Equipment

  • cutting board

  • Stove or Slow Cooker
  • large skillet
  • mixing spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mild salsa verde
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic

Instructions

  • Place olive oil into medium skillet or pot over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, salt and pepper, stirring until browned. Add salsa verde and cumin, stirring until combined. Reduce heat to low until ready to serve.
  • You can place the beef mixture into a slow cooker and cook on low for 3-6 hours if desired.

Notes

  • Use Taco Meat Other Ways. Instead of tacos, try the taco meat over nachos, inside burritos, over rice and even more. It's so versatile.
  • Prepare Ahead. Make your taco meat a day in advance to save time for taco night.
  • Use Lean Ground Beef. To avoid lots of fat in the beef, use an 80% or higher ground beef.
