Taco Filling

Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Beef and Seasoning

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Dice the red bell pepper and stir it into the meat mixture, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the pepper is slightly softened.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or directly over a flame, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  2. 5

    Build the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 6

    Add Heat

    Finish each taco with sliced jalapeños to taste.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious tacos!
