Thoroughly mix the ingredients into the ground beef using your hands. Ensure an even distribution of the seasonings.
-
Transfer the seasoned beef mixture to a crockpot. Add water and white vinegar to the crockpot, ensuring the beef is fully submerged.
-
Sprinkle a little cocoa powder over the beef mixture. This adds a unique depth of flavor to the filling.
-
Cook the mixture on low heat for approximately 2 hours. It’s essential to maintain a low simmer to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.
-
Every 20 to 30 minutes, sprinkle a small amount of cocoa powder over the mixture, and gently mash the beef using a potato masher. This helps infuse the cocoa flavor evenly throughout the filling.
-
Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the meat and remaining liquid to a saucepan. Simmer gently until the excess water evaporates, leaving behind a rich and flavorful taco filling.
-
Serve the taco filling warm, accompanied by your favorite taco shells, tortillas, or as a topping for salads or nachos. Enjoy the explosion of Tex Mex flavors in every bite!
