Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
- 2/3 cup water
- 4 hard taco shells
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
- 2. Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- 3. While the beef simmers, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the taco shells on a baking sheet and warm for 3-5 minutes.
- 4. Fill each taco shell with the seasoned beef, then top with lettuce, cheese, and diced tomatoes. Add sour cream if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips
- Use 80/20 ground beef for best flavor.
- Warm the taco shells to prevent cracking.
- Store leftover beef in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
