Method

Taco Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

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

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Add Water

    Pour the water into the skillet, stir well, and let it simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the filling is simmering, prepare taco shells according to package instructions if needed.

  2. 6

    Fill Taco Shells

    Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each taco shell.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro according to your preference.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Arrange tacos on a serving platter and enjoy immediately while warm.
