Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 pieces small flour or corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, about 7–10 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 15–20 seconds on each side, or microwave them for 20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
Set up a taco assembly station with the seasoned meat, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, and hot sauce.
Fill each tortilla with a portion of the seasoned meat mixture, then top with your favorite combination of toppings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Taco Time!
