Taco Filling

1 lbs Ground beef

1 cup Onion, chopped

2 tsp Garlic, minced

2 tbs Taco seasoning

1 cup Tomato sauce

1 cup Chopped bell pepper

Taco Assembly

8 pieces Soft taco tortillas

2 cups Shredded lettuce

1 cup Diced Tomatoes

1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup Sour cream

1 to taste Sliced jalapeños

Method

Prepare the Filling

Cook the Ground Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Onion and Garlic

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Stir in Seasoning

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef mixture and stir to combine. Add the tomato sauce and chopped bell pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through.

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the Tortillas

In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the soft taco tortillas until pliable, about 30 seconds in the microwave or 1-2 minutes in the skillet.

Fill the Tacos

Place a generous spoonful of the beef filling in the center of each tortilla.

Add Toppings

Top each filled taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Add sliced jalapeños as desired.
