Method

Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Drain excess fat, if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.

Taco Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    In a separate skillet, heat the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and slightly crispy.

  2. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer the seasoned beef, followed by shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Top each taco with a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa.
