How To Cook Taco Meat
We used a homemade taco seasoning blend for this recipe, but you could also start with a packet of your favorite taco seasoning mix. Here’s what is in ours:
- 1/2 TB Chili Powder
- 1 tsp. Cumin
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
- 1 TB Mexican Spice
- 1 tsp. Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. Spanish Oregano
- 1 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper
Whisk together the above seasoning ingredients in a small bowl, then add to a large sautรฉ pan with 1 pound of lean ground beef, 1/2 cup fire roasted tomatoes, and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat or medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through.
How To Make Elote
Elote is a Mexican street corn, or corn salsa. It’s fresh, flavorful, and juicy and makes a tasty taco topping!

How To Make Guacamole
When it comes to guacamole, simple is best! This is a quick and easy homemade guacamole recipe:
- 3 large ripe vvocados, seed removed and skin removed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1-2 jalapenos, seeds removed and diced
- 1 TB minced garlic
- 2 TB lime juice
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Separate the avocado flesh from the seeds and skins and add the avocados to a large bowl. Smash with a potato masher, until mostly smooth, with a few small chunks. Add the rest of the guac ingredients and mix to incorporate. Scoop into a serving bowl.
Prep Tips
- Instead of ground beef, you could also use shredded chicken or fajita steak as your taco meat in the middle of the board.
- When I prepare charcuterie boards, I usually serve with a big bowl of chips on the side. That way there are plenty, even if they don’t all fit on the board.
- Feel free to swap out store-bought items, such as guacamole, to save time!
- If you don’t have a large wooden cutting board, you could also use a large sheet pan for your charcuterie board.
