At lunchtime one day, I had tortillas, cheese, salad ingredients, and salsa in my kitchen. So I decided to pull out a pint of my home-canned ground venison to make this taco meat recipe for lunch. (You could use cubed/shredded venison, but we prefer the ground venison.)
Here’s how to make homemade taco meat.
My Taco Meat Recipe (It’s Easy!)
Add meat to the pan and bring to a simmer, making sure it’s good and hot. Drain, then add about 2 Tablespoons of taco meat seasoning (recipe below) and mix.
Taco Meat Seasoning
You can use store-purchased seasoning, but I happen to make my own taco meat seasoning!
- 3 T chili powder
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 tsp paprika
- 4 1/2 tsp cumin
- 3 tsp salt
- 3 tsp pepper
Mix well. Store in an airtight container.
Now you’ve finished the taco meat recipe. Quick taco meat for lunch! See? It’s so quick and easy.

Then I have a jar of taco seasoning. Now you can use the store purchase seasonings, or I happened to make my own. I’ll share the recipe for you. I’m going to put this in a pan, bring it to a simmer, simmer for a couple of minutes, make sure it’s good and hot.
Then I’ll add about two tablespoons of this (the seasonings) in there, mix it up. OOps sorry. I want to drain it first! Then I’m going to add two tablespoons of this, mix it up. Then we’ve got quick tacos for lunch.
