Ingredients

1 lb Ground beef
2 tbsp Taco seasoning
0.25 cup Water
8 Taco-sized tortillas
1 cup Shredded lettuce
1 cup Diced tomatoes
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
0.5 cup Sour cream
0.5 cup Salsa
1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if needed.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully coated and the liquid has reduced.

Step 5

While the beef cooks, warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos: Place a portion of the seasoned ground beef on each tortilla, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa (or toppings of your choice).

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy!
