Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
• 0.25 cup water
• 8 corn or flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 lime, sliced into wedges
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 3

Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (approximately 7-10 minutes).

Step 4

Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked meat, stirring well to coat evenly. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 5

While the meat is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in aluminum foil and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos by placing a spoonful of the seasoned meat onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tacos Deluxe!
