Method

Taco Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Brown the Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Seasoning and Water

    Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Taco Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the meat mixture is simmering, prepare the taco shells according to package instructions, either by warming in the oven or microwave.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

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

  3. 6

    Add Jalapeños

    Top with sliced jalapeños as desired for added heat.
