Directions for Making Ground Beef Tacos
1. Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Garlic and Seasoning
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then, add the taco seasoning and water. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
3. Warm the Taco Shells
While the beef is simmering, warm your taco shells or tortillas according to package instructions. If using corn tortillas, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet for added flavor and pliability.
4. Assemble the Tacos
Once the beef is ready and the shells are warm, it’s time to assemble your tacos! Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into each shell.
5. Add Toppings
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and any additional toppings you desire, like sour cream or jalapeños.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your delicious ground beef tacos!
