Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the beef and pour in the water. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is well-coated and the water has mostly evaporated.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Warm the flour tortillas according to package instructions, either in the microwave or on a hot griddle.
To assemble each taco, spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto a warm tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, diced tomato, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Fold the tortilla over the fillings to create a taco shape and serve immediately.
