Taco Filling for the Freezer

This works great to make and freeze for future meals!

Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cups finely chopped onions (about 3 medium onions)
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeno chile, minced (seeds and ribs removed for less heat, if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • Coarse salt
Directions:
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, cumin, and coriander; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  2. Add beef; cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Season generously with salt.
Serve in tortillas, over lettuce for a taco salad, or as the base layer for a taco dip!
