Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.6667 cup Water
- 5 Small taco-sized tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.3333 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water as directed on the seasoning packet. Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Warm the tortillas by placing them in a skillet for 20-30 seconds each side or by wrapping them in aluminum foil and heating in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
Lay each tortilla flat and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooked ground beef mixture into the center.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and hot sauce if desired.
