Taco Filling

Method

Preparing the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground 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 Taco Seasoning

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned beef. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Filling

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Add Beans and Corn

    Drain and rinse the black beans, then stir them into the beef mixture along with the corn. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the soft flour tortillas until they are pliable.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On each tortilla, add a generous scoop of the beef filling followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 7

    Add Salsa and Cilantro

    Top each taco with salsa and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas in half and serve immediately with extra salsa on the side.
