Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare Taco Shells

    While the taco filling simmers, prepare the taco shells according to package instructions if necessary.

  2. 5

    Fill Taco Shells

    Spoon the beef mixture into each taco shell, filling them generously.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each filled taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of avocado.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, optionally with additional toppings of your choice.
