Taco Assembly

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare toppings

    Wash and chop lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro. Grate or shred cheese if needed. Set toppings in separate small bowls for easy access.

  2. 2

    Cook beef

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season beef

    Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce, water, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Assemble tacos

    Place a tortilla on a plate. Add a portion of seasoned beef, then top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
