"There's a widely quoted statistic online that says Americans eat 4.5 billion tacos per year. There's no indication of where that number might have come from or how accurate it is, but it gets shared a lot. In 2017, the Wall Street Journal reported that Americans annually ate 554 million tacos from Jack in the Box alone. With that in mind, the 4.5 billion number doesn't sound too far-fetched. If that includes tacos you make at home, you really should make sure you're cooking the best tacos you can."
""Instead of adding water, use beef broth and a little butter," Rollins explains. Butter can add richness to your taco meat that you won't get from the flavor packet alone. It also gives some body to the sauce that otherwise may taste a little thin and forgettable. If you want a silkier, creamier mouthfeel, Rollins' tip is spot on."
Americans eat tacos in very large numbers, with a widely cited figure of 4.5 billion eaten annually and a 2017 report noting 554 million Jack in the Box tacos sold. Ground beef is a popular American taco filling but is not a traditional choice. Replacing water with beef broth and adding a bit of butter when cooking seasoned ground beef increases richness, improves sauce body, and enhances a silkier, creamier mouthfeel, which is especially helpful for lean beef. Adding extra spices or chili blends can further deepen flavor and make tacos stand out.
