Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Once the beef is browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef mixture. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer with Water

    Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare Taco Shells

    Warm the taco shells according to package instructions, either in the oven or microwave.

  2. 6

    Assemble Tacos

    Take a taco shell and fill it with a generous amount of the beef mixture. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 7

    Add Jalapeños

    Finally, add sliced jalapeños on top for an extra kick, as desired.
