Tortillas

Meat Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Filling

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and add 1 cup of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Add salt to taste.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas until pliable, about 30 seconds per side or 15 seconds in the microwave.

  2. 4

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a few spoonfuls of the meat filling onto the center of each tortilla.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with chopped fresh cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
