Instructions
Season both sides of the ground beef with salt. If using a block of meat, cut it in half and season both sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef for 2 minutes on each side.
Break up the meat and cook until fully browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Mix cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, and smoked paprika together.
Sprinkle the seasoning over the browned meat, stir, and cook for 1 more minute.
Pour in the broth, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
Once the liquid has reduced, turn off the heat and serve the taco meat warm.
