I'm a 22 year old guy who just moved out a few months ago. The only cooking experience I have is mac and cheese and spaghetti lol. Thank you for the quick and easy video. I'm trying to eat real food, not just live off frozen stuff.
I'm in the same exact boat with everything you said 😂😂Tonight, this is the first actual meal I've ever cooked
@@pete0 buy an instant pot. It was my introduction to cooking. There’s a huge community on UA-cam for it with tons of simple recipes. Also buy a slow cooker/crock pot. It’s very easy
I moved out last year, the month I turned 23 and didn't know how to cook any meat. I know exactly what you mean haha
Also invest in cast iron. They will last forever, are very affordable, and you can do so much with them. Watch plenty of these videos.
Keep it up and don’t ever be discouraged if something doesn’t turn out the way you expected. We’ve ALL been there. Good luck!
This is how videos should be. Quick and to the point. Everything makes sense.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I cannot stand videos where they have to show us how to chop the onions and the bell peppers and garlic. Just get her done and shut up. I'd like to add that I saw a video where after the meat was done he put it in a food processor for just a few short pulses so that it would be as fine as Taco Bell's meat. I tried that and absolutely loved it.
I agree
completely agree
Right 😂😂😂 all that extra stuff not called for lol
Exactly!
Easily the best tutorial I have ever seen in my life. No bullshit whatsoever, perfect explanations for even the smallest things wasting no time skipping nothing while showing how to properly spread it out. 100/10
So facts
This will sound silly but I just wanted to say thanks. Almost 1 year ago I learned how to cook this from your video. I can now make multiple things with this meat just because I know how to brown it. I had A LOT of anxiety with cooking, mostly meat and now it's much less thanks to you.
Thank-you for helping me cook without my mom, thank you for giving me the confidence to cook by myself and thank you for helping those who never had anyone to teach them.
I appreciate how efficient this video is. Time is our most valuable resource.
The most straight to the point cooking video I’ve ever seen I actually gave it a like bc it was so simple
im a 13 year old guy home alone for a week and hungry, very helpful!
you should not be home alone for a week as a 13 year old!! this is a concerning comment
@@SaigeBelanger i had people down the street i knew and it was my idea.
Love this video. This is a great format. So quick and to the point - no fat, extra lean!!!
It looks great thanks to you! Stay blessed and know YOU helped ME feed THREE ppl. It's lovely how one person's actions (such as creating a simple video) can lead to helping MANY . Thanks a bunch
just moved out on my own, this was really nice. thank you
Did you add oil or water? 😳 I want to try this ㅋㅋㅋ
@@findyourself241 water, it was delicious ㅋㅋ

I’m honored & touched by your comments
@@findyourself241 shoot I’m boutta just do butter while you playing
i’m 19 and this is my first time cooking with beef I have made other meals. But you know this is gonna be my first experience with cooking meat so I was a little bit worried on what to do so I looked up a tutorial. Because I wasn’t really sure on how to do it or how long to wait and stuff. Overall this video really helped me and this video was all i needed thank you! ❤️
ur my twinnnnn not
.
This video deserves at least 7 million more likes.
I had no idea you added water.. well now mine tastes great. Thank you glad I watched!
@miggey 😂
Really??? Didn't u learn how to follow directions in your 12 years of being in school???
DenisZen ASMR I don’t know if you’re aware of this yet, but it literally says “2/3 cup of water” at the 1:16 mark.
@@Drew.Clayton509 😂😂😂😂
@@Drew.Clayton509 it literally says 2/3 cup of water in the directions on the back of the taco seasoning packet. He obviously watched the video and heard it say to add 2/3 cups of water. He thanked him and said "now mine taste great."
I'm sure some will scoff but give ground turkey a try. Been making tacos with ground turkey for years. Way cheaper, way healthier (unless you eat 5 tacos per sitting like me).
5??? I just slammed 12 tacos after watching this vid
@@chandlerday5069dude i used to speed through like 15 tacos as a kid, now i can barely stomach 4😒 disappointed
My family used to have Taco nights were we would use the Old El Paso taco kit. It was wonderful. Ever since moving out, I haven't had the chance to do it again. This video reminded me that I should get some friends together and give it another go.
The Old El Paso seasoning is really good. It tastes better than the seasoned beef in a lot of fast food taco joints, more flavorful.
I used 96/4 and didn’t drain my fat, overall came out good. Added some minced garlic (3-4 cloves of garlic), salt and pepper and about a tablespoon of Taco Bell mild hot sauce, came out pretty good lol.
Imo, i grew up with just “pour and mix and eat” but then once i heard about season up and add in from friends i was like “won’t it make it extra salty?” then noticed it made a difference. Especially once you microwave it. Really comes in handy.
Your an inspiration!!!
thank you sir i will use this for the rest of my life
Thanks man. I rarely use season because I don’t know what’s good, any recommendations?
@@mac6417 honestly try anything, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, etc. it depends on foods you make too
@Ty Wilson True but I prefer to keep my fat lower. I usually do 85/15 if I make for a crowd tbh
15 year old just tryna make tacos at almost 3 in the morning 😂
Don't drain your fat. Add your spices before the water, mix well and simmer for 1-2 minutes before adding the water. Spices are fat soluble. They will enhance when cooked in fat. Some spices react the same way with water.
Im going to try it this way tonight. Thanks!
U saying leave the fat and water in there never drain it ?
@@tessabrown6987if you're using a lean beef, no need to drain that little grease, but if you're using a 70/30 or 80/20 PLEASE DRAIN THAT GREASE.
@@blessedmslady7341so do you just dump the mix into the meat with the grease or you need to add water anyway ?
*What I do;* I first dice & fry an onion until sweet (aka browned). Then add your meat & cook until browned (think smash burger seared). And add 2 table spoons of tomato paste & mix in & cook until the tomato paste turns a rusty red color. Then add the spice package & two tea spoons (or more) of better than beef bouillon & a 1/4 cup of water or beef broth if you have it already & stir until thoroughly mixed, and cook until meat is a consistency you're happy with. And to save time putting the tacos together I just use a super chunky salsa, sliced lettuce, & cheese... & sour cream if I haven't forgotten it.
Thanks for teaching this 43 year old man how to cook race meat. 😎
What is race meat?
@@Alolan.Vulpix.Getting.Railed like dark, light, red
Nigha tf 😂😂
I'm such a perfectionist I'm really looking up how to cook ground beef even tho i know i'm doing it right already lol. Thanks for the video anyways, straight to the point.
Much appreciated! I get so stressed out not knowing what stages are what visually, as text instructions do not spark much imagination. This was the only video I could find that wasn't a bunch of extra stuff / not showing the food. It's awesome to be able to just find basic cooking instructions !
I followed these exact steps. My 10 year old picky son , said they were bomb. Another easy recipe added for a child that doesn't eat squat.. thanks.
Simple, concise, practical. I love it ♥️🫵👍
This might just be the best easiest video for me to do. Thank you
I'm 87 and I'm still cooking meat wrong, thank you for your wisdom
Thank you so much! We’re eating good tonight !
The amount of times I’ve returned to this video is nuts
im a 4 year old kid who lives alone in skibidi sigma town and the only cooking experince i have is mac and cheese and i get zero b3tches this was the first meal ive had in awhile
Type sht
Thanks dude! I made tacos for the first time by myself. Glad to have an easy tutorial.
Awesome video I'm cooking for a girl next door we been kicking it off lately and I needed this video because she wanted me to cook Tacos for her today lol thanks!
I've been doing this wrong for years! Thank you so much for sharing. 🥰🙏

Just moved to LA by myself, your a godsend 🙏🙌
La crazy expensive out there you going to need this meal bro

@@jordanbarrand1736 lot of hidden gems out there. u just need to know where to look at lol.
Thank you. Simple, to the point. And it looks delicious!
I’m 23 years old and I’m learning to cook 🧑🍳 off the internet thank god for the internet because I want to learn to cook for my future wife whoever that may be
Very helpful! Thank you for the great video👍
I never break up the ground beef anymore, I cook it all together in a big patty then when it’s grilled on both sides nice and brown I bust it apart, the difference in flavour and juiciness is night and day.
Also, 50/50 ground beef/pork gives it a really unique texture, flavour and color.
Also, deep fry or bake the taco shells at 350 for 6 minutes exactly on the middle rack…they’ll be a very light brown and you’ll have a delicate crunch.
Use a good name brand old cheddar and even maybe blend a smoked white cheddar in with it at about 60/40 depending on how sharp the smoked cheddar is.
Nice fresh iceberg lettuce.
It’s not super authentic tacos but it’s what Taco Bell should be.
They’re my favourite food and I’ve been making them ritually for 25 years.
After these three beers I’m making me some got damn tacos !
My girl left me for the night and I’m hungry , thanks 😂

Thank you! This was very quick and very helpful!!
Great video! I was cooking as I watched it.
I feel like Neo when he learned Kung Fu.
Thumbs up because I could hear the sizzle.
I cook mine on 5.5 but yours looks better. Im gonna turn the heat up and add water with seasoning like that
Super helpful video! Thanks man! I appreciate you!!
ua-cam.com/video/jmi5n7REwFk/v-deo.html
Okay 👍 thank you it slipped my mind on how to do that part silly my 😅 tricks are for kids.
I poured the salsa in the ground meat
Thanks for this. I needed a reminder. I was like I need to drain the meet then add the seasoning, right? This confirmed my steps were all correct. Usually I just buy pre seasoned asada from the Mexican mart, but I'm on a poor man's budget this month so it's ground beef for the first time in 20 years.
Thank you for this it restored my confidence
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Thanks so much for the help ❤
Making this tonight 👍🏽
good luck
After draining all the fat. I usually only use half a package. Thanks for sharing your video.
a great meal
Thank you
Girlfriend at work… thank you!!!
Thank you for posting
Thanks kids loved it
I liove tacos
Thanks to you I can make homemade crunch wraps!
Update: Tortillas got a bit burnt from grilling but it was COMPLETELY worth it, damn it was so good!
Wow, brilliant. Who knew?

Awesome thanks
Don’t drain your meat! That’s where the flavor comes from
Bruh no
The best video!!!!
Thank you friend I’m doing this with 5 lbs of beef 👹
THANKS FOR THAT RECIPIE I NEED THAT TOO.😊
Thank you! So helpful!!
I honestly thought it said 2cups and a half and I ruined it
Lmaooo
Just add more meat lol
😂😂 idk why that was so funny
Making this tonight but I saw someone add chopped tomatoes from a can, so instead of water I’m gonna add a can of chopped tomatoes 🦶
Neat video!
as a kid who moved out on his own, THANKS
I have trouble cooking ground beef because it never comes out tender, pieces are hard and rubbery. How do I fix that?
My girl just came over and this is what I’m making I lied my ass off hopefully it’s good
Very helpful, thankyou!
It very good I what to eat it in Real life
I do turkey and the trifecta of cumin, garlic and sweet chili powder…mmmmm
Is water necessary? I’ve seen other videos were people don’t use water and just pour the seasoning onto the meat when it turns brown
Thanks g
Does the size of the pan matter much? If so, what size of pan is this
