Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 pieces small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add cooking oil if desired.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked beef, then add 1/4 cup of water. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully absorbed and the mixture thickens slightly.
While the beef is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the seasoned beef evenly among the tortillas.
Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa, or any other toppings of your choice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tasty Tacos!
