Answer 4

Here's a relatively simple seasoning recipe without too many ingredients that still produces great taco meat~

1 - 2 Tbsp. minced onion (dehydrated type)
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. cornstarch
Mix spices together and mix into 1 lb. cooked meat. Add 1/2 cup water, stir.
Cook on 'low", covered for about 10 minutes.

Also, if you ever feel like being experimental or feel like fusing hispanic flavors with something else, try a few teaspoons/tablespoons of hoisin (seafood) sauce or soy sauce ... And even curry. It can be surprisingly good.

Answer 5

Here's what I do. Brown some ground beef along with some diced onion. For the last minute, throw in some minced garlic. Season with kosher salt, ground black pepper, cayenne (Optional of course, but I like it), cumin and chili powder. Now pour in 1/2 cup or so of water. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer until liquid has evaporated.

Good luck and good eating.

Answer 6

You will need garlic salt, lemons and oranges.

Put the meat in a plate and spray it evenly with the garlic salt, then juice it with lemon and orange. let it rest for a couple of minutes and proceed to cook it.

But cook it in a charcoal flame, and don´t start the flames with that fluid most people use, that thing will kill you.

After you are done with the cooking, drink the juice thats left on the plate, it´s really good...
