Taco Filling

Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef, stirring to coat the meat evenly.

  3. 3

    Add Water and Simmer

    Pour in the water and stir well. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is thick.

Prepare Taco Toppings

  1. 4

    Warm the Corn Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 5

    Chop Vegetables

    While the tortillas are warming, chop the onion and cilantro. Set aside in a bowl.

  3. 6

    Prepare Other Toppings

    Slice the jalapeños and prepare lime wedges. Place sour cream and shredded cheese in separate small bowls for serving.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 7

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a warm tortilla and spoon in a generous amount of the taco filling. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeños, a dollop of sour cream, and shredded cheese.

  2. 8

    Serve with Lime

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your street tacos!
