Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (optional), chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the tacos by layering the ground beef mixture on each tortilla, then topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
Enjoy your Mexican Dinner Pronto!
