Del Taco snob here. This was DAMNED good, brother. The coriander - nice earthy touch. I think you have all the flavors. But I think we're only about 75%-80% of the intensity. There is a certain 'throat burn' missing. It's not heat... and 'burn' is too aggressive - not sure what the right term is. This is so 'polite' tasting. Clean. But definitely Del Taco clone. Maybe I should just learn to enjoy this 'clean' taste lol... Bravo, good Sir!
Del Taco Meat Recipe
With TVP
Great job! Wish I could get the Del Taco refried bean recipe down for their burritos along with the red sauce. The beans have better texture and something that resembles real beans in their burritos versus the dehydrated bean mush served at Taco Bell.
1 lb Ground Beef
½ cup TVP plus ½ cup Boiling Water, mixed well
soy trash. I Stopped eating at jack in trash and del taco, also banning all fast food places. Spoiled fake food. Vegan slop
1 TBSP Chili Powder
1 tsp Paprika
This is wonderful 😊
1 tsp Granulated Garlic
1/2 tsp Dried Minced Onions
Del Taco used to put oats in their beef. I worked there a million years ago.
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Cumin
Bill, what brand of taco shells do you use?
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Mexican Oregano
Yum! Gotta get me some VP whatever it is fake meat! But it does look delicious! All I need is the 4 drops of taco sauce that come in those tiny packages which require using your teeth to open! Yummy! ❤❤😂
1/4 tsp Ground Coriander
1/2 tsp Sugar
About four years ago I checked out Del Taco’s website, and they mentioned TVP in the ground meat. I don’t care if it has it, it tastes good anyway.
1 TBSP Tomato Paste
1 cup Water
I always thought my brain was messing with me... because in recent years after not having del taco for a while it does take different... thanks for that info! I really wanna learn how to make their mild sauce! Its the right spice level without the overpowering vinegar.
1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Lime Juice
Never had a Del taco and lacking tvp we tried the "non" version. Being mildly addicted to fast food tacos for many years I have to say your recipe is excellent.
1 tsp Oat Flour
1 tsp Corn Starch
Bill I just made this tonight without the tvp and I got to say bravo my friend!!!!!! If this recipe isn’t the same as the real Del Taco it’s damn near close. My girlfriend was impressed and said the same thing. She said to only make this when we make American style tacos. Another great video!!!!!
Without TVP
1 lb Ground Beef
Great video, Bill! You need to re-do your Carl's Jr. western bacon cheeseburger video-the Heinz bbq sauce is the stuff in the dipping packets; the Heinz Carolina inspired bbq sauce (I get mine at Dollar Tree) is what they use in the western bacon cheeseburgers. Trust me.
1 TBSP Chili Powder
1 tsp Paprika
a little bit into the video i looked into JITB buying Del Taco and they just sold it at a huge loss while destroying DT as well. Damn MBAs CEOs, and californian politicians are rotten.
1 tsp Granulated Garlic
1/2 tsp Dried Minced Onions
Yeah I’ll take mine without 😂
And never trust a skinny cook!👌
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Cumin
TVP ick. No bueno.
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Mexican Oregano
1/4 tsp Ground Coriander
1/2 tsp Sugar
1 TBSP Tomato Paste
¾ cup Water
1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Lime Juice
1/2 TBSP Oat Flour
1 tsp Corn Starch
