Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 pieces small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa

Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add cooking oil if desired.

Step 3
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Step 4
Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked beef, then add 1/4 cup of water. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully absorbed and the mixture thickens slightly.

While the beef is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
Step 6
Assemble the tacos by dividing the seasoned beef evenly among the tortillas.

Top each taco with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa, or any other toppings of your choice.
