I worked at Taco Bell in high school in the early 80's when they made their meat filling from scratch as well as the pinto beans! I remember them breaking out a drill with a long blender tool attached to it to make the refried beans smooth.

I never thought I'd see this, but YOU make taco meat exactly as I do! So many people leave out the "finish" - the inclusion of masa flour and water - and lime juice. It gives the ground beef that hint of acidity, and turns it from a dry crumbly mess into a thing of beauty. Great job!

You could take this even further by boiling the hamburger as the cooking method. Boiling the hamburger ensures that you get that super fine ground beef crumbles texture - this is also how Taco Bell prepares it. This method of cooking brings the temperature of the meat up slowly and prevents it from clumping, keeping it finely ground.
@howtocooke
@howtocooke 7 месяцев назад
That is how diner chili or "hotdog gravy" is generally made but I was reproducing the Taco Bell Seasoned Beef. They do not do that and use very little water in their meat so it would not be authentic to the recipe. For other recipes boiling the ground beef like you said is absolutely appropiate, just not here.

I got this bulk pouch of taco seasoning (gran sazon is the brand) from my local gordon food service. Its really good. Had to do math to figure out what i needed per pound because the whole pouch makes like 10 or 15 lbs of meat but its really good. Seems like every time I mix my own taco seasoning I screw it all up. 🤣 I also have a little local shop that sells some pretty decent seasoning they make in house.

If you want REAL good "Taco Bell" beef..................get ground round, and make sure it's TRIPLE ground, so it's really fine ground. This makes for "smooth and silky" ground beef, so you don't get any of those "surprise bits" in there. If you REALLY want to trick your kids, just buy some Taco Bell packaging. Some store managers will sell it, some will give it to you for free, and you can buy it online as well. So you can make your own Taco Bell burritos, tacos, and Mexican Pizzas at home and then say "HEY KIDS, I GOT TACO BELL TONIGHT"!!!! LOL

Bar far the best home-made chilli I've eaten - not as 'fresh tasting' as authentic mexican, but I'm going to be making this over and over - it's terrific and thanks for sharing.

I can buy a jar of sour cream at the grocery store for $0.89! Thank you so much for this and yes my teenager does wine and say "this is not Taco Bell" when I make it at home so I'm excited to see what he thinks of this recipe.

I worked at Taco Bell when I was a teenager and they used to have like a liquid sauce had to of been enchilada sauce with other ingredients in white tubs we would have to pour that into the meat and take a potato masher and push the meat with it and just keep pushing the meat until the meat became small and everything was incorporated and cooked and that’s how we made it, the meat was so good it was the best hamburger meat ever, now it’s already prepared before it gets to the store in plastic bags then when heating, it gets put in metal pans and put in the oven to heat it not the same taste as it was when I was a teenager.

When I was there we had a powdered mix and dumped a gallon of water into it to make the sauce for the meat.

They stuff back in the day was great!

Went there the other day & got beef tacos. We were amazed at how tiny they where & then I opened mine & there was barely anything inside! Remember when you would hold the taco the lettuce, tomato, & meat filling would fall out to the point you'd use a fork to eat what fell out? Now they're like lil mini taco appetizers. And I'm not a big eater either, I have limited stomach space & I could usually never finish a whole soft taco & would save the other half for later. But, even the quality changed & the meat is meager & almost slimy. My taste for Taco Bell is over. Not worth the price anymore for subpar, at best, quality. Better off making them at home. Or going to an authentic Mexican restaurant from now on.

Glad you liked the recipe! The Cheesy Gordita Crunch just has their nacho cheese sauce spread on the gordita shell wrapping a crunchy taco. It should be really easy to duplicate. The gorditas are just unfried Chalpua shells that you cook on a dry skillet or griddle instead of deep frying them. I did a video on the Chalupa shells that is spot on. Just cook them differently and you will have perfect gordita shells.

Onions and tomato sauce works well for thickening. What you want to do is make a lazy sauce tomate(tomato sauce, roux(flavor and butter) and animal fat). That oatmeal stuff is just processed roux. If you want to go the full mile, its better to make the sauce and sweat the onions medium yellow at the same time. Once the onions are done, put the meat on the onions. The onions caputure the fat and the roux itself works with the grease. Do the rest of the recipe as you like, but the point is that the tomato sauce itself has incorripated both the meat and protein. Which is important because sour cream or if you have crema, will solidify some of that extra flavor, because you are working with emulsions.
@howtocooke
@howtocooke 8 месяцев назад
All great points but I think its just a bit overkill for "taco bell" meat. I was trying to copy their method. They do not use a roux at all. The ground oatmeal is used to soak up the fat that they don't drain out of the meat. If I was going to "chef it up" then the sky is the limit! Thanks for your comment. A lot of great info there.

As a laugh, let me make another comment. Did you ever eat the "taco bell beef burger"? I think they called it a "Bell Beefer"? Man, that damned thing was good. I ate a million of them in high school in the mid 1980's. Basically, it was more like a Mexican Sloppy Joe. That's all it was, and it was juicy, little sweet, and wonderful. I told wife we should try to find recipe for it.

Yes, but have you been to taco bell lately? They changed the recipe and you can't tell the lettuce from the taco meat anymore. Oddly enough, they are both a bit crunchy with zero flavor...

OR..... you can go to Taco Tico and purchase a 1 or 5 pound bag of their taco meat, which IMHO is far better tasting than Taco Bell meat.

Taco Bell’s beef is 70% proprietory blend, 30% beef. Proprietory blend is whatever cheap ingredients they want. They won’t reveal what’s in it, don’t have to. That’s why I go to a Mexican restaurant or Torchies Tacos.
