Spicy Mexican Fideo
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons dried minced onion, divided
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder, divided
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) package fideo noodles
  • 3 cups hot water, or as needed
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 cube beef bouillon
  • 3 thin strips of green bell pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over high heat, allowing it to reach the optimal temperature for searing. Sear and stir beef, 1 tablespoon dried onion, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in the scorching skillet until beef reaches a satisfying brown color and becomes crumbly, taking approximately 5 to 7 minutes; carefully pour off excess grease and transfer beef to a separate container.

Next, heat canola oil in the same skillet over moderate heat, creating a gentle warmth that allows for even cooking. Cook and stir fideo noodles in the warm oil until they develop a rich brown hue, requiring around 3 to 5 minutes. Add ground beef and enough boiling water to cover the noodles, stirring in tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons dried onion, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, beef bouillon, green bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles become tender, taking approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
