Instructions
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.
Once cooked, give the taco meat a final stir to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed and the meat is tender and flavorful.
Warm up the taco shells according to package instructions.
Assemble your tacos by adding the taco meat to each shell and topping with shredded lettuce, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, or any of your favorite toppings.
