Taco Filling

Taco Assembly

Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Brown the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the 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

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat and stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    Pour in the water and stir well. Let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the meat is simmering, prepare the taco shells according to the package instructions.

  2. 5

    Fill Taco Shells

    Once the shells are ready, fill each taco shell with a generous portion of the seasoned beef mixture.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa as desired.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while they are warm, with extra toppings on the side.
