Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Beef

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant and the beef is fully cooked.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate pan or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 4

    Fill the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and place a generous amount of the seasoned beef in the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Repeat the filling process with the remaining tortillas and serve the tacos immediately with extra salsa on the side.
