Toppings

Method

Preparing the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Use a spatula to break it apart and cook until it is browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Preparing the Taco Shells

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

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

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Place a warm tortilla on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center of the tortilla.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Finely chop the raw onions and cilantro. Sprinkle them over the beef filling in the taco.

  3. 7

    Serve with Lime

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
