Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or your choice of protein)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 8 small taco tortillas
- Fresh toppings: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheese
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Cook the meat: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. Brown the meat evenly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the meat: Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, so the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Warm the tortillas: While the meat is cooking, warm your taco tortillas on another pan or in the microwave. This will make them soft and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos: On each warm tortilla, place a generous amount of the seasoned meat, then top with your fresh ingredients.
- Serve & enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the delight of your homemade tacos!
Notes
Tacos are best served fresh and warm. Offer a taco bar with various toppings. Store leftover ingredients separately to maintain freshness.
