Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 pieces Soft flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, or preferred type)
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa or taco sauce
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 whole Avocado or guacamole (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet and return the meat to the heat.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
While the meat is simmering, warm the soft tortillas. You can do this by heating a dry skillet over medium heat and warming each tortilla for 15-20 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds.
Prepare your toppings: wash and shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and mash the avocado if using guacamole.
To assemble the tacos, lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate. Add a spoonful of the seasoned meat mixture to the center of the tortilla.
Top the meat with shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of salsa or taco sauce.
If desired, add chopped cilantro or guacamole for extra flavor.
Fold the tortilla in half, or wrap it tightly like a burrito, and serve immediately.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Enjoy your soft tacos with your favorite sides or beverages!
