Instructions

6 steps

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until completely browned and no pink remains.

2
Carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet to prevent a greasy filling.
3
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the cooked beef and pour in the water. Stir well to combine.
4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. The liquid should reduce and thicken, coating the beef in a rich, flavorful sauce.
5
While the meat simmers, warm the taco shells in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and crispy.
6
Assemble the tacos: generously spoon the warm seasoned beef into each shell. Top immediately with shredded lettuce, a mound of cheese, and a spoonful of salsa. Serve while hot and crunchy.
