Hard or soft shells filled with seasoned ground beef and toppings.

25 minutes
Serves 3
Dinner

Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Carefully drain off any excess grease from the skillet to prevent a greasy filling.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the cooked beef and pour in the water. Stir well to combine.

  4. 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. 5

    While the meat simmers, warm the taco shells in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and crispy.

  6. 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.
