Soft tortillas & beef

Toppings

Method

Prepare Taco Meat

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

  3. 3

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add ground beef to the skillet. Break apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes until spices are evenly coated and fragrant.

  6. 6

    Optionally drain excess fat from the beef before proceeding.

  7. 7

    Warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

  8. 8

    Keep meat warm over low heat while tortillas finish warming.

Assemble Tacos with Toppings

  1. 9

    Arrange lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa within reach.

  2. 10

    Place a warm tortilla on a plate. Spoon about 1/4 of the seasoned beef into the center.

  3. 11

    Top with a small handful of lettuce, some diced tomatoes, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

  4. 12

    Fold or roll the tortilla to enclose the filling and serve immediately.

  5. 13

    Repeat for the remaining tortilla and beef portions. Plate for serving.
