To make taco filling with homemade taco seasoning, mix all taco seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add ground beef and brown, stirring occasionally and breaking into pieces as you stir until cooked through.
Add the taco seasoning, tomato paste, and water to the browned beef and stir together. Bring to a boil, and then turn heat to low and allow to simmer 15-20 minutes.
