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