To get the super fine texture, you need to put the meat in a cold pan and add water. Maybe a cup or so per pound. You mix that together and you'll actually see the individual meat fibers separate. Some people do the initial mixing with a potato masher. Anyways, cook that down and boil the water out. You'll have the finest textured meat you can get.

I use a stainless steel pan with a stainless steel spatula that I put a sharp edge on. After searing the ground beef as it is outta of the package, I go to town like a Mexican by chopping it up aggressively, creating a fine mince. After browning is complete, I add about a 1 and a 1/2 cup of water, allowing the seasoning to incorporate into the beef, coupled with breaking the meat down further via a quick boil down to a simmer for several minutes. Comes out fantastic every time. Be sure to leave a little water for moisture. MSG takes it to the next level.

@wangson 3 жыл бұрын

I absolutely could see that! Oatmeal is often used as "filler" or to stretch out the beef in order to make more of the product. Whenever I make meatloaf (or burgers too on occasion) I always add a bit of either dry or fresh bread crumbs. Not only does it stretch out the amount of ground beef, but it also contributes a nice texture to the finished product (at least I think so). As I've heard of oatmeal being used, I've never tried adding it myself. But now that you mention it...

Take a hand potato masher while your meat is browning and mash the meat. Add your seasoning and water. Let cook for a few minutes. After that pull it off the burner and add a little more water. Pile all the meat into the center. Take an emulsion blender and pulse the blender accross the top of the meat. Mix it up and there you go. Now you have meat like taco bell. Be carefull with the emulsion blender or you can turn it into baby food. It only takes a pulse on high on each spot, accross the top.

As long as you drain it the cheaper the better you don't want a real steaky beef because the texture will be off. Drain your fat and replace with lots of water and lots of seasoning. The key to it is to over season your meat, and water it down, eat your tacos as you make them or else they will get soggy just like Taco Bell's.
