My Delightful Secret Taco Recipe
I’m so excited to share with you my secret taco recipe. It’s so quick and easy to make. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
1½ pounds ground beef (minced beef)
½ medium yellow onion - diced
¼ cup water
1 can refried beans
¼ cup taco sauce
TACO SEASONING:
¼ cup chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
¼ cup garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons Italian herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sometimes basil and parsley)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the taco seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
- Brown the ground beef with the diced onion. Drain the fat off.
- Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir until the taco seasoning is well mixed in.
- Stir in the can of refried beans. Keep stirring until the beans are well mixed in. They will thin out some as you heat them and make it easier to stir them in and mix with the meat.
- Add the taco sauce until the meat mixture is the desired thickness. I find the beans make the meat really thick, so the taco sauce helps to make it the right consistency. You can add in more or less to make it the consistency you like!
