Prepare the Meat Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning to the beef along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir well and let it simmer for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens.
