📝 Instructions

7 steps
1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if needed.

4

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.

5

While the beef cooks, warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable.

6

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).

7

Serve immediately and enjoy!
