Method

Taco Filling Preparation

Cook the Beef

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

Add Onion and Garlic

Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Season the Beef

Add the taco seasoning mix, tomato paste, water, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Simmer the Filling

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Taco Assembly

Warm the Tortillas

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

Fill the Tacos

Place a few spoonfuls of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.

Add Toppings

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños if desired.

Serve

Fold the tortillas over the filling and serve immediately with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.
