Hi all, Jenn here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tacos are on a weekly rotation at my house. Sometimes, it’s chicken tacos<\/a>, sometimes pork carnitas<\/a>, and sometimes these awesome ground beef tacos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this recipe for its delicious flavors, of course. But even better, it\u2019s a quick, one-pot, dump-and-go meal<\/strong>. All you need is some ground beef and a few flavorful seasonings that are probably already in your spice cabinet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u23f2\ufe0f Whether you have fresh or frozen ground beef, you\u2019re less than 30 minutes away from a filling meal that your family will love!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make Instant Pot Tacos in Any Brand of Electric Pressure Cooker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Instant Pot Taco Meat recipe<\/strong> will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tacos are one of the easiest meals to whip up in your pressure cooker or Instant Pot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\uded1 After the quick release, the beef will not be fully cooked! <\/strong>This is intentional to avoid the burn notice and get fully flavored, perfectly cooked taco meat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe cooks at high pressure to cook the meat, and then uses the Saute function to break up the meat and evaporate any remaining liquid. I like to use my OXO meat chopping tool<\/a> to easily separate the meat inside my Instant Pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Spices for Ground Beef Tacos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A month or two ago, my son told me, “Mom, I wish your tacos were as good as Taco Bell Tacos.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um, what?! Challenge accepted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d researched a few copycat recipes, and they all pointed to the same secret ingredient: granulated beef bouillon<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes a HUGE difference and really kicks up the beefy flavor of the tacos! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, I can officially tell you that my son has decided this recipe is “WAY better than Taco Bell tacos.” <\/strong>(I agree!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf36\ufe0f The taco seasonings in this recipe are mild and kid-approved.<\/strong> If you like it spicy, I highly recommend doubling the chili powder or adding crushed chili pepper flakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Cook Ground Beef Tacos with Frozen Beef?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re using frozen ground beef, you’ll have best results with beef that is frozen in completely flat. (A misshapen frozen piece of meat won\u2019t cook evenly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your beef is frozen flat, the only difference between cooking these tacos with frozen vs. fresh beef is an extra 2 minutes of cook time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
