Sauté aromatics
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Brown beef and add seasoning
Increase heat to medium-high. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef, pour in water, and simmer until most of the liquid evaporates and the beef is evenly coated with spice, about 5 minutes.

Warm tortillas
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 15-20 seconds per side, or wrap in a clean kitchen towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds until pliable.

Assemble tacos
Spread beef into each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add salsa and a dollop of sour cream to each taco, if desired. Serve immediately with extra salsa on the side.
