Tacos are on a heavy rotation in our kitchen and for good reason: quick, easy, packed with flavor, and can be so nutritious! Elevate your taco night with our rendition of these flavorful classics. This robust blend combines the best of two worlds: savory ground beef and zesty chorizo, creating a flavor profile that's sure to liven your palette on your next taco Tuesday.
At the heart of this dish is a perfectly balanced mix of lean ground beef and spicy chorizo, providing a rich, meaty base with a kick of heat. The star of the show is the Taco Tex-Mex Rub & Seasoning, which infuses the meat with flavors from ancho chili, garlic, sun-dried tomato, chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, mustard seed, lime peel, and oregano. This carefully crafted blend of spices eliminates the need for measuring multiple ingredients, making this recipe both delicious and convenient.
To enhance the texture and depth of flavor, we incorporate smooth tomato sauce, which also helps to bind the meat mixture. A splash of water ensures the perfect consistency, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully as they simmer together.
This versatile taco meat is not just for tacos – use it in burritos, nachos, taco salads, or as a topping for baked potatoes. It's an excellent make-ahead option for busy weeknights or casual entertaining. Packed with protein and bursting with flavor, this Tex-Mex taco meat will become your new go-to recipe for satisfying, crowd-pleasing meals.
