Method

Preparing the Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Seasoning and Tomato Sauce

    Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Mix well and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 4

    Prepare Taco Shells

    Warm the taco shells in the oven according to package instructions, usually at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tacos

    Take each taco shell and fill it with a generous amount of the beef mixture.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the filled taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños as desired.
