Gather your ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients for the taco meat.

Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, toss in finely chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the Meat: Increase the heat slightly before adding your ground meat to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Stir frequently until fully browned, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

Season Generously: Sprinkle your choice of spices over the cooked meat. Mix well and let them toast for a minute.

Simmer with Liquid: Pour in some broth or water to deglaze the pan while scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Allow this mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.

Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste your taco meat and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately in warm tortillas.
