Taco Filling

Method

Prepare the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Brown the Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Seasoning

    Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, black pepper, and tomato sauce. Mix well and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the flavors meld together.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare the Taco Shells

    Heat the taco shells according to package instructions until crisp and warm.

  2. 5

    Fill the Taco Shells

    Spoon the beef mixture into each taco shell, filling them generously.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each filled taco with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños to taste.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Arrange the tacos on a serving platter and serve immediately.
