Notes

Season. This recipe is super simple so be sure to season moderately with salt and pepper. These simple seasonings are going to add tons of flavor.

Don’t Overcook. Ground beef cooks pretty quickly, especially when you’re breaking it up into smaller pieces. Once you don’t see any pink, add the taco seasoning and tomato paste. Overcooking the beef will result in a tough texture that doesn’t taste great.

Drain the Grease. If there’s a lot of grease in the pan after browning the beef, you can pour some of it off before adding the taco seasoning and tomato paste.
