This is one of the most used taco recipes I have. It is very easy to prepare and I normally keep all the ingredients for this dish, so that I can prepare something quickly if I don’t have much time for cooking, or just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen that day.

Ingredients:

1 pound (0,5 kg) ground beef
1 onion
1 bell pepper

Taco seasoning:
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

Brown the ground beef. Add onion and bell peppers. Stir until the ground beef is no longer pink. Add the taco seasoning ingredients. Add a bit of water and let it simmer for a while.

Serve with fajitas or taco shells, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, corn and sour cream.

This taco recipe can easily be turned into a low carb dish by serving it as a taco salad. It is also great to serve when you are having guests and don’t know what they can eat, since you can serve the ingredients in different bowls and let everyone help themselves.
