Easy Ground Beef Tacos
Description
This recipe cooks one pound of ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning until fully browned and broken into small pieces. Preparing fresh toppings such as chopped tomato, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro gathers the classic taco accompaniments. Tortillas are warmed separately for softness and pliability.
Assembly is straightforward: fill warmed tortillas with beef, cheese, and desired toppings. This method ensures juicy beef with flavorful seasoning balanced by fresh, crunchy vegetables and creamy elements.
An optional note suggests adding tomato sauce near the end of cooking to increase the meat's sauciness if preferred, enhancing moisture without overpowering the seasoning.
Serving tacos immediately ensures tortillas remain warm and ingredients fresh, making it a convenient and satisfying meal option.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 6 corn tortillas or flour tortillas or taco shells
- 1 cup tomato chopped
- 1 1/2 cup lettuce chopped
- 1 cup Mexican cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Preheat a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add beef to the pan and season with taco seasoning. Stir beef frequently, ensuring to break it apart as it cooks.
- Place cooked beef in a bowl and set it aside. Chop, prepare and gather all your toppings.
- Preheat tortillas on a stovetop or in the microwave. Add ground beef, followed by cheese and toppings of choice.
- Serve tacos right away!
Notes
- If you prefer saucier beef, add 1/2 cup of tomato sauce during the last minutes of cooking.
