Instructions

In a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and break it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon.
Cook the meat until it's browned and no pink remains, which will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Avoid stirring too frequently to allow proper browning. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Push some of the browned meat to the side of the skillet and add the tomato paste directly to the pan. Let it brown for one minute.
Mix in the garlic powder, paprika, oregano, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir for about 30 seconds until the spices become fragrant and coat the meat.
Pour in the beef stock or a splash of water and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed, creating a saucy texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chilli flakes.
This taco meat can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Feel free to serve with your favorite taco toppings like cheese, lettuce, and salsa.
