Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Stir in Seasoning

    Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef mixture and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Water

    Pour in the cup of water and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 5

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the beef mixture is simmering, prepare your taco shells according to the package instructions, typically heating them in the oven or microwave.

  2. 6

    Fill Taco Shells

    Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each taco shell, about ¼ cup per shell.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

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