1 tablespoon Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for lean ground beef, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful taco seasoning mix.
  • Brown the beef well: Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the beef. This will prevent the beef from steaming instead of browning. Cook the beef until it is browned all the way through.
  • Use a flavorful taco seasoning mix: You can use a store-bought taco seasoning mix or make your own. If you are using a store-bought mix, be sure to taste it before adding it to the dish. Some mixes can be quite salty.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Pepper Jack cheese are all good choices.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This dish is delicious served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
