How much fat is in taco meat?

3 min read
The fat content in taco meat is not a fixed number and is primarily determined by the lean-to-fat ratio of the ground beef or other protein used. This ratio can vary significantly, from as low as 7% fat in extra-lean options to over 20% in more traditional blends. A cooked and drained 3-ounce serving of extra-lean (93/7) ground beef taco meat contains approximately 6 grams of total fat.
