Taco Ingredients

Method

Taco Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Add taco seasoning to the cooked beef, along with 1/2 cup of water. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  3. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan or microwave, warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, add a generous spoonful of the seasoned beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
