Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Gluten-free taco seasoning
- 1 cup Water
- 12 tortillas Corn tortillas (certified gluten-free)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Pepper
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 large Tomato, diced
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 lime Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the gluten-free taco seasoning, water, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and coats the beef well.
While the beef is simmering, warm the corn tortillas by either heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by placing a scoop of the seasoned ground beef mixture onto each warm tortilla.
Top the beef in each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Finish with a dollop of sour cream on each taco and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free classic ground beef tacos!
