Method
Prepare Taco Filling
Cook the Ground Beef
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Taco Seasoning
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble Tacos
Prepare Taco Shells
Warm the soft taco shells in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds to make them pliable.
Fill the Tacos
Spoon the seasoned beef mixture evenly into each taco shell.
Add Toppings
Top each taco with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and any additional toppings like sour cream and salsa as desired.
