Taco Filling

Method

Taco Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the 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

    Add Onions and Garlic

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

  3. 3

    Season the Beef

    Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to incorporate the flavors.

  4. 4

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the beef mixture simmers, prepare the taco shells according to the package instructions, if applicable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Shells

    Spoon the beef filling into each taco shell, filling generously.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of avocado.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm, with any additional toppings on the side.
