Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 pieces small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 piece avocado, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is browned and cooked through.
Step 3
Drain any excess grease from the skillet, if necessary.
Step 4
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is evenly distributed and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 5
While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Step 6
Assemble the tacos by spooning the seasoned ground beef onto each warmed tortilla.
Step 7
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, and avocado slices, or your preferred toppings.
Step 8
Fold each tortilla in half and serve immediately.
