Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a separate pan, heat the corn tortillas over medium heat until they are crispy, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Keep them warm in a towel.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a crispy tortilla and fill it with a generous portion of the seasoned beef. Top with shredded lettuce and cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the hard beef tacos immediately with your favorite sides or sauces.
