Prep: Defrost 1/2 pound ground beef and blend with spices, either a commercial Mexican seasoning packet, or 1 Tbsp Paprika and Chile to 1 Tsp Cumin, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, with 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes, Salt, and Sugar. Slice 1/2 White Onion into strips and toss with 1 Tsp Italian Seasoning, Onion Powder, Olive Oil and 1/4 Tsp Salt, Pepper.
It’s the pulverizing of the meat with the spices and the Onion Powder on the onions that really makes it taste like the wonderful fast food. If your meat is lean you might mix Olive Oil in the meat to keep it moist and then drain out the excess fat like you would a higher fat content meat.
Cook: Pre-cook the onions until just tender and set aside. Cook the meat. Slow is better to get it pulverized with the spices and then fast at the end to reach desired level of char.
Serve: With cheddar cheese, warmed tortillas, and green salsa. Makes 8 Tacos and really feels like more food than what seems to go in it.
