Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1.33 pounds ground chuck
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon masa harina
- 4.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic salt
- 0.25 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 0.5 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
Instructions
- Craft a robust seasoning blend by combining masa harina, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, paprika, ground cumin, garlic salt, sugar, dried minced onion, and beef bouillon powder in a mixing vessel.
- Heat a skillet over medium flame and introduce ground chuck, thoroughly browning the meat while breaking it into uniform crumbles.
- Generously sprinkle the prepared seasoning mixture over the browned meat, meticulously stirring to ensure comprehensive coating and distribution of spices.
- Reduce heat and allow the seasoned meat to gently simmer, permitting the complex flavor profile to harmonize and intensify for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- During simmering, periodically stir the meat to prevent potential scorching and promote even flavor absorption.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting chili powder and cumin for personal heat preference.
- Create a leaner version using ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for healthier options.
- Toast masa harina briefly before mixing seasonings to enhance the depth of flavor and release aromatic compounds.
- Make a large batch of seasoning mix and store in an airtight container for quick future taco preparations.
