Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Prepare the Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Take a warm tortilla and add a generous scoop of the seasoned ground beef in the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro as desired.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plate the Tacos

    Arrange the assembled tacos on a serving platter and serve immediately, allowing guests to customize their toppings if desired.
