# What You’ll Need:
→ Main
01 -
2 pounds ground beef, 90% lean
02 -
1 ounce taco seasoning mix
03 -
1 cup salsa
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Place raw ground beef into a 5 to 6-quart oval slow cooker and gently break apart using a spatula.
02 -
Sprinkle taco seasoning over the ground beef and pour salsa evenly on top. Mix thoroughly until the beef is fully coated.
03 -
Cover with the lid and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to break up any large pieces and ensure even cooking.

Once cooked, break up meat to desired texture and serve hot as a filling for your preferred taco-inspired dishes.

Swap ground beef for ground turkey, pork, or a small portion of chorizo for a flavor variation.
03 -
Select a salsa with your preferred heat level to customize the spiciness.
