Method

Preparing the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring frequently to break up the meat, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Beef

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef mixture. Pour in 0.5 cup of water, stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the corn tortillas until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 6

    Add Salsa and Avocado

    Finish by adding salsa and a few slices of avocado on top. Fold the tortilla in half to create a taco.
