Mexican · Main course · 25 min total

Classic beef tacos with seasoned ground beef, fresh toppings, and warm corn tortillas. This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup water
• 8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
5. Assemble tacos: spoon beef mixture into each tortilla, then top with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, and salsa.

Tips

• For a healthier option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
• Serve with lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
• Leftover beef mixture can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
