You know how much I LOVE an easy taco dish, and after creating various types of easy taco recipes, I realised I had never shared basic beef one. And because beef mince recipes are our saviours on most weeks in a family kitchen, I knew I had to put that right! For this Beef Taco recipe I have used the beef cooking method similar to my Chilli Con Carne and Beef Burritos, but using a shortcut of ready-made fajita seasoning (because shortcuts are LIFE).
Why you’ll love this Beef Taco recipe
⭐️ Easy prep-ahead dinner ⭐️ Delicious flavours and shortcut hacks ⭐️ Sociable and fun meal If you love tacos as much as we do, you could give my versions of Cauliflower Tacos, Prawn Tacos, Salmon Tacos and even Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos a go. (And just for fun, why not my Big Mac Tacos too? Yes it’s a thing and they’re sooo good.) Instead, the tomato puree addition keeps the flavour but dry enough to work as handheld food. If you’re short of time, you can even make the filling ahead of time, meaning a really quick dinner to serve up when everyone’s hungry. I hope you love it!
Easy Beef Taco Ingredients
Sunflower oil – Olive oil is fine too Beef mince – I use 5% fat Fajita seasoning – The type in a herb jar rather than a pack or pouch as these are just pure spices rather than any added thickeners/additives Garlic granules Tomato puree Kidney beans
To serve
Small tortilla wraps – I use small wheat ones, but corn tortillas also work well if you can get hold of them, or wholewheat ones too Sour cream – Or yoghurt Iceberg lettuce Salad tomatoes Cheese – I used grated cheddar but whatever you have is fine
In the freezer The made-up tacos aren’t suitable for freezing, but if you want to freeze the beef filling, you can do this once it’s been cooked. Defrost thoroughly before heating up again in the pan. Batch cook The mince filling is also great for meal prep batch cooking. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
