Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 10 Hard taco shells
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it is fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 2
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Step 3
Return the skillet to the heat and add the taco seasoning and water. Stir thoroughly to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef.
Step 4
Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions, either in the oven or microwave, to make them soft and crisp.
Step 5
Assemble each taco by adding a spoonful of the seasoned beef into the hard taco shell.
Step 6
Top the beef with shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes.
Step 7
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of each taco. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Taco Bell-style tacos!
