Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the beef is simmering, prepare the taco shells according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves warming them in the oven or microwave.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each taco shell with a generous amount of the seasoned ground beef. Top with shredded lettuce, cheese, and salsa to taste.
