“Taco Bell ground beef” rather than “taco meat”; this is very much not true of taco meat generally, including the non-ground-beef options at Taco Bell or other similar fast-food taco restaurants.
Cheap fast food is a perfect application, There are plenty of higher quality tacos in the world.
Except that it is indeed meat. It contains a Soy filler in addition to the meat, but it is meat.
Straight from the Jack's mouth[1]:
Taco, Regular Filling Ingredients: Beef, Chicken, Water, Textured Vegetable Protein (Soy Flour, Caramel Color), Defatted Soy Grits, Seasoning... etc
