Taco Filling

Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Meat

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat mixture and stir to combine. Pour in the water and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warmed tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the beef filling onto the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 6

    Garnish

    Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top for added flavor and freshness.
