Cooking Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- While the beef is simmering, warm your taco shells or tortillas according to the package instructions. This usually involves baking them in the oven or heating them in a microwave.
- Assemble your tacos by spooning the seasoned beef mixture into each warm taco shell or tortilla. Top with your favorite ingredients such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, and diced onions.
Notes
Here are 4 ideas to customize your beef tacos:
1. **Spicy Tacos**: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef or use a spicy salsa.
2. **Healthier Tacos**: Use whole wheat tortillas, lean ground beef, and load up on fresh vegetables like bell peppers and corn.
3. **Cheesy Baked Tacos**: After assembling, sprinkle extra cheese on top and bake in the oven until melted and bubbly.
4. **Taco Salad Bowls**: Skip the shells and serve the beef mixture over a bed of crisp lettuce with all your favorite toppings for a deconstructed taco experience.
