30-Minute Ground Beef Tacos

Instructions

1. 01

   Combine all taco seasoning ingredients in a small bowl or lidded jar and stir or shake until well-combined.

2. 02

   Combine the beef broth and tomato paste in a small bowl or measuring cup and whisk until very smooth.

3. 03

   Make the pico de gallo. Combine the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix until well-combined. Taste for seasoning and just the lime juice, salt, and pepper until the flavor sings. Transfer to the fridge to marinate while the filling cooks.

4. 04

   Heat a 10” skillet over medium high heat; add the olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 minutes. Add the ground beef to the onions and cook, stirring with a wood spoon to break up the beef, until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent and starting to caramelize around the edges, 7-8 minutes.

5. 05

   Add the entire portion of taco seasoning to the skillet and stir to combine; cook, stirring frequently, until worked into the beef and onion mixture and very fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

6. 06

   Pour in the broth and tomato paste mixture, then give everything a good stir. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes.

7. 07

   Serve right away in warmed tortillas, topped with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
