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!

@dillanhawkins5430 7 ай бұрын
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 7 ай бұрын
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.
@dillanhawkins5430 7 ай бұрын

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

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.

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 8 ай бұрын
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.

I'll eat that whole bowl in one serving. After I melt some cheese over the top of it.

Taco Bell ground beef is like cat food😂😂
@howtocooke 11 ай бұрын
Sort of but cats are too smart to eat that stuff.

Yes! And getting pricey & lots of shrinkage too! No longer worth it considering the lack of quality.

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.

They do that there? That's awesome. Everyone just do that!

The best way to recreate Taco Bell beef is to remove 80% of the beef.

Anyone tried this is it a copy cat recipe?

they may have done it years ago like that but now they have it all in a bag and none of it is Natural

That is why I posted the video. Making it at home tastes better, is cheaper and better for you. TB meat does not even taste like TB meat anymore. So sad.

Wouldn't it be easier just to go to Taco Bell
@howtocooke 5 ай бұрын
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...

That feeds a ton of people ? Sure 😂
@howtocooke 9 ай бұрын
In the portion sizes that TB uses this would feed an army! Not quite but it will make a lot of tacos.

Fast food must be expensive now because of the minimum wage change, just as some predicted.

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.
