If it doesn't have cumin, then it's not taco seasoning.

Those taco mixes help a lot.

I'm cooking some ground beef for taco's tonight and want to add something different other than the usual salt/pepper/garlic powder. Anything to zest it up? I don't have any crazy ingredients. Have some lemons.

a small can of tomato sauce + the same can filled with water. Simmer until it's thick. And a few sprinkles of Chili Powder.

Best Tacos ever.

You guys still aren't getting it. You want to BROWN the meat, that is your flavor. This means medium-high heat, ignore what the dial says, you want medium-high heat, my 0-10 dial means I need a 6 for that. 2-3 seconds of your hand over the pan at about .5 inch would be good.

I didn't have the cumin stuff and never even heard of it so I did this, added some oinions, and it came out real well. Thanks Q

Be sure to stew the ground beef, never brown it.

Another vote for cumin. That and your typical taco spices are what I prefer.

also available in single use servings.

We use that with chicken for tacos. Throw some in with some water in electric skillet and boil it down with some chopped boneless skinless chicken breasts and yummy. Hard or soft shell, cheese, lettuce, tomato, black olives, jalapenos, light sour cream. Favorite taco sauce or not, and enjoy.

Brown a diced onion in the pan before adding the ground meat.

This. Or the other spices already listed. Cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic, onion, hot sauce, etc.

I would recommend browning the meet instead of stewing it.

EDIT: This thread is from last night. OP, updates?

When we make ground beef for tacos we add:
Onion powder
garlic
a little cumin
a very little bit of cayenne
plenty of chili powder

The cumin is what really gives it the mexican flavor.

Oh yeah, we definitely BROWN the meat.
Once it's browned, we add the spices and a little bit of water, just to make it a little moist and saucy and spread the spices around.

And if you want to make steak tacos instead of ground beef, add fresh lime juice to that recipe. So frickin good.

Oh, thanks. I read through but didn't see it.

I got some bacon salt recently... I bet that would be pretty good!
