Instructions

1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.

2

Drain excess fat from the beef, then add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.

3

While the beef cooks, heat the tortillas. Brush each tortilla lightly with vegetable oil and warm them in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.

4

Assemble the tacos: Spoon the seasoned beef onto each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, onion, and cheese.

5

Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Add sour cream and salsa to taste.

6

Serve immediately while the tortillas are still warm and crispy at the edges.

Chef's Tips

  • Meat Choice: For more flavor, use a mix of ground beef and ground pork.
  • Tortilla Tip: For extra crispiness, lightly fry the tortillas until golden before filling.
  • Toppings: Customize with avocado, jalapeños, or pickled onions for extra flavor.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the beef filling in advance and reheat when ready to serve.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute beef with black beans or seasoned tofu for a vegetarian version.
