Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef or any ground meat of your choice
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend works well
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
Toppings
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced or 1/2 cup guacamole
  • Optional: sour cream, jalapeños, or salsa for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the ground beef. Brown it, breaking it up into small pieces as you go (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and a splash of water (about 1/4 cup). Stir well to combine and simmer for another 5 minutes until the flavors meld.
  3. While the beef is simmering, warm your tortillas. You can do this in a separate dry skillet over low heat or wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven.
Assembly
  1. To construct your tacos, take a warm tortilla and spoon in a generous amount of the seasoned beef. Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese on top while the beef is still hot so it melts beautifully.
  2. Top with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and avocado slices. Feel free to add sour cream, jalapeños, or salsa for an extra kick if desired!
  3. Serve the tacos immediately with your favorite sides or sauces!

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust taco seasoning to your heat preference. Don't overfill tortillas to keep everything intact. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
