Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 pieces small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 piece avocado, sliced
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is evenly distributed and the mixture thickens slightly.
While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Assemble the tacos by spooning the seasoned ground beef onto each warmed tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, and avocado slices, or your preferred toppings.
Fold each tortilla in half and serve immediately.
