I have been looking for a good Taco Bell taco meat recipe clone for a while, and I was excited to find this one. Unfortunately, I wound up exceedingly unimpressed. I have tried other CopyKat recipes before and been satisfied, but this one does not taste even remotely like Taco Bell meat. Plus, I understand that this recipe isn’t meant to simulate the texture, etc. of Taco Bell meat, but (even with the corn flour) the sauce doesn’t thicken up even as nicely as the junky store-bought taco spice packets. Not a winner, I’m afraid.

It is precooked Stephanie then frozen and thawed in hot water at 150 degrees for a hour. I worked there a few years ago. Everything is precooked there all the meat is thawed in a similar method then moved to the heating pans on the taco assembly line.

When my boys were all home we always had Taco Night, for dinner & often after midnight!!!
I always had pks. of seasoning , makings for meat & lots of shells on hand.Ortega of course.
Actually, it was Only Ortega & I only used the recipe on the packet of seasoning. Everyone,
loved my Tacos. My problem is after several years of “Taco Retirement” my grandchildren
now live close & apparently have heard of the Taco Raids, & I can’t find my little white packs
of spices mix. What can I do? PLEASE do not tell me you went & made it “new & Improved”
Please tell me where I can purchase it in NE Ohio Cleveland area //Elyria 44035 thanx grams

I don’t use the TVP in my recipe, I don’t think it is an ingredient post people can get. I personally think the jack in the box tacos have even less meat than the taco bell ones.

Hey Taco Bell uses a ground beef and TVP blend for the tacos. Thats the secret ingredient to give the meat the right texture. Fake meat mixed with real meat as a extender. Actually TVP doesn’t taste too bad and its a sneaky way to make kids and husbands eat there vegetables when they won’t put lettuce tomato or onion on there tacos. You brown and drain the meat first Then add TVP (Textured vegetable protein) to the meat than the spices.
