Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, lightly warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the beef with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  4. 8

    Finish with Salsa

    Add salsa on top of the filled taco for an extra burst of flavor.

  5. 9

    Serve

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