Ingredients
- Ground beef: 1 pound
- Taco seasoning: 1 packet
- Water: ¾ cup
- Corn tortillas: 12
- Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- Shredded lettuce: 2 cups
- Diced tomatoes: 1 cup
- Sour cream: ½ cup
Instructions
- Step 1: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Step 2: Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the browned beef. Stir well to combine.
- Step 3: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the beef is well-seasoned.
- Step 4: Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions (usually in a dry skillet or microwave).
- Step 5: Fill each tortilla with the seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.
- Step 6: Top with sour cream and serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover cooked beef separately from the tortillas and toppings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, reheat the beef filling in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent drying out.
- Serve these tacos with a side of your favorite salsa or a scoop of guacamole for an extra burst of flavor.
- To prevent soggy tortillas, warm them just before serving and avoid overfilling them with the beef mixture.
