Meat Filling

Taco Toppings

Method

Preparing the Meat Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Meat

    Stir in ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well blended.

Preparing the Tortillas

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they're pliable.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a warm tortilla on a plate. Add a generous portion of the cooked meat filling down the center.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa to your liking.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Fold the tortilla in half and serve immediately while warm.
