When hot, place meat in the skillet and cook, using a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to break up the ground beef into equal-size pieces as it cooks, until no longer pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 2 -3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix until everything is well combined. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet and cook for 5 -8 minutes, or until most of the liquid is evaporated. Taste and add more salt if necessary<\/p>\n\n\n\n Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and use to fill tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tostadas, empanadas, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like to use 90-10% lean ground beef, this way, I skip the step of draining the fat released from the meat after browning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skip the packet seasoning!
