Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning, low-sodium
- 0.5 cup Water
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 can Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the lean ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef, and sauté for 3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and let it cook for another 4-5 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
While the beef mixture is simmering, lightly spray both sides of each corn tortilla with olive oil cooking spray.
Heat another non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly crispy and golden brown.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, salsa, and cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low fat crispy beef tacos!
