Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix (or homemade taco seasoning)
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 small soft flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions:
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
- Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully seasoned and the flavors are well combined.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the beef is simmering, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the seasoned ground beef into the warm tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa, along with any additional toppings you prefer.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your homemade Ground Beef Soft Tacos with a side of rice, beans, or your favorite taco accompaniments.
