Taco Filling

Method

Preparing the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned (about 5-7 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well. Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Add salt to taste, ensuring the flavor is well balanced.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    Heat corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon some of the beef filling into the center. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese on top.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Finish with a dollop of sour cream and sliced jalapeños according to your preference.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm, allowing everyone to customize their toppings.
