I'm a 22 year old guy who just moved out a few months ago. The only cooking experience I have is mac and cheese and spaghetti lol. Thank you for the quick and easy video. I'm trying to eat real food, not just live off frozen stuff.

This is how videos should be. Quick and to the point. Everything makes sense.

Easily the best tutorial I have ever seen in my life. No bullshit whatsoever, perfect explanations for even the smallest things wasting no time skipping nothing while showing how to properly spread it out. 100/10

This will sound silly but I just wanted to say thanks. Almost 1 year ago I learned how to cook this from your video. I can now make multiple things with this meat just because I know how to brown it. I had A LOT of anxiety with cooking, mostly meat and now it's much less thanks to you.

Thank-you for helping me cook without my mom, thank you for giving me the confidence to cook by myself and thank you for helping those who never had anyone to teach them.

Very much needed 20 years old this year and have to learn some stuff soon

I’ve been cooking for 40 years. Everyone always trying to make things more difficult. I still cook tacos from out of the kit almost every month tho. Most time consuming part is chopping up whichever fixings you like.
Great vid. No nonsense. States it’s purpose and then delivers. 👨‍🍳🌮

Love this video. This is a great format. So quick and to the point - no fat, extra lean!!!

Don't drain your fat. Add your spices before the water, mix well and simmer for 1-2 minutes before adding the water. Spices are fat soluble. They will enhance when cooked in fat. Some spices react the same way with water.

My family used to have Taco nights were we would use the Old El Paso taco kit. It was wonderful. Ever since moving out, I haven't had the chance to do it again. This video reminded me that I should get some friends together and give it another go.

The Old El Paso seasoning is really good. It tastes better than the seasoned beef in a lot of fast food taco joints, more flavorful.

just moved out on my own, this was really nice. thank you

I used 96/4 and didn’t drain my fat, overall came out good. Added some minced garlic (3-4 cloves of garlic), salt and pepper and about a tablespoon of Taco Bell mild hot sauce, came out pretty good lol.

Imo, i grew up with just “pour and mix and eat” but then once i heard about season up and add in from friends i was like “won’t it make it extra salty?” then noticed it made a difference. Especially once you microwave it. Really comes in handy.

*What I do;* I first dice & fry an onion until sweet (aka browned). Then add your meat & cook until browned (think smash burger seared). And add 2 table spoons of tomato paste & mix in & cook until the tomato paste turns a rusty red color. Then add the spice package & two tea spoons (or more) of better than beef bouillon & a 1/4 cup of water or beef broth if you have it already & stir until thoroughly mixed, and cook until meat is a consistency you're happy with. And to save time putting the tacos together I just use a super chunky salsa, sliced lettuce, & cheese... & sour cream if I haven't forgotten it.

Much appreciated! I get so stressed out not knowing what stages are what visually, as text instructions do not spark much imagination. This was the only video I could find that wasn't a bunch of extra stuff / not showing the food. It's awesome to be able to just find basic cooking instructions !

i’m 19 and this is my first time cooking with beef I have made other meals. But you know this is gonna be my first experience with cooking meat so I was a little bit worried on what to do so I looked up a tutorial. Because I wasn’t really sure on how to do it or how long to wait and stuff. Overall this video really helped me and this video was all i needed thank you! ❤️

15 year old just tryna make tacos at almost 3 in the morning 😂

[cucch]

Dude ive been trying to make the tacos my mom used to make. I always tried to follow the recipe on the back the spice packet but never came out the way my mom made them. I found your video and just following along made things so much better and they taste just how my mom used to. Thanks a lot bro
