Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 8 corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (optional), chopped
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 5

Assemble the tacos by layering the ground beef mixture on each tortilla, then topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.

Step 7

Enjoy your Mexican Dinner Pronto!
