Recipe: Taco Filling (makes 6 cups, freeze ahead)

Main Dishes - Beef and Other Meats
TACO FILLING

"Fold this Mexican-style mixture into corn tortillas for Beef Tacos, or try it in Taco Salad, on top of sweet potatoes, or as a hearty addition to stews."

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups finely chopped onions (about 3 medium onions)
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno chile pepper, 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 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Coarse salt

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.

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.

TO FREEZE:
Cool filling completely, then divide among small airtight containers; freeze up to three months. If using in other recipes, freeze filling in two containers, putting three cups in each. Before using, defrost overnight in the refrigerator (or in the microwave).

Makes 6 cups
