Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 10 Hard taco shells
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Return the skillet to the heat and add the taco seasoning and water. Stir thoroughly to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef.
Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions, either in the oven or microwave, to make them soft and crisp.
Assemble each taco by adding a spoonful of the seasoned beef into the hard taco shell.
Top the beef with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of each taco. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Taco Bell-style tacos!
