Taco Johns meat recipe?

Question

What is the recipe for Taco Johns taco meat?

Answer 1

Ummm, Taco Johns is a very specific kind of taco meat...a generic 'taco meat' seasoning mix won't do. I dated someone who worked at a TJ's when I was in high school (again, many, many moons ago!!) and he told me that the corporate office sent them bags of the seasoning so he didn't know what was in it.

The only thing I can offer you is a way to get the meat to the right consistency. That would be to SOAK your ground beef in water for 2-3 hours, then cook it in a bit of shortening, mashing it well with a fork the entire time it cooks...I'm assuming you probably cook it with some very finely chopped onions as well.

Now if we could get someone to actually give us the spices, we could make us some Taco Burgers w/ Sour Cream!! MMMMMMMMM. Did you know the seasoning on the Potatoe Ole's is simply Lawry's Seasoned Salt? Buy some processed cheese dip and I'm back in the midwest again!! I've since moved to New England and their idea of decent Mexican fast food is Taco Bell! It sooooo pales in comparrison. I need a TJ's fix NOW!

Anyway, sorry I couldn't give you the answer but I'm saving your post in the dire hope that someone can provide the actual seasonings they use in the meat so I can make it too. Thanks for the post!!

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU58G

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

Potato Ole Seasoning

Answer 6

First of all, Taco John's meat seasoning itself does not have minced/diced onions in it. They add diced onions to the meat before they cook it. Secondly, the seasoning for the potato's ole's is not put on until after they come out of the fryer so...

Answer 7

Shake some Louisiana Cajun Seasoning on the taters. It tastes so close to the Ole seasoning that you wouldn t tell the difference in a side by side comparison. It s packaged in an orange can, and costs about 3 bucks at the supermarket.

Answer 10

You start by cooking 1# beef with 1/2 cup dried onions, that is all. Not in a fry pan, but in a kettle with 3/4 cup water to 1 cup. Add water as it is cooking IF it is too dry. As it is cooking, take a potato masher to it and mash it up fine. Keep doing this as it cooks.
The original bag of seasoning had pellets of soy, which may or may not be necessary, I am still working on the seasoning mixture.
