From theforkedspoon.com

4.8

Ingredients

2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion (diced)
1 pound lean ground beef
2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
1 cup tomato sauce

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Stir often to prevent burning and reduce heat to medium if needed.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a large wooden spoon or spatula to break the beef into smaller and smaller bits and pieces. Fully cook your ground beef before draining approximately 3/4 of the liquid and fat from the skillet.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the spices and tomato sauce to the beef and mix well to combine. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or so, stirring often.
Serve with all your favorite taco dinners! Enjoy!
