Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 Taco-sized tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if needed.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully coated and the liquid has reduced.
While the beef cooks, warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the seasoned ground beef on each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa (or toppings of your choice).
Serve immediately and enjoy!
