Taco Filling

Method

Prepare the 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 Seasoning and Water

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer

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

Assemble Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm Tortillas

    While the filling is simmering, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side, or until pliable.

  2. 5

    Build the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a generous spoonful of the beef filling, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Add sliced jalapeños to taste.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately while warm with any additional toppings or sides you prefer.
