Ingredients
Taco Meat
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- ½ cup tomato sauce
Taco seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
Toppings
- 1 cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups romaine lettuce shredded
- 1 avocado peeled and cubed
- ⅓ cup red onion sliced or diced or pickled
- cheddar cheese shredded
- sour cream
- lime slices
- 8 tortillas
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef. Break the beef up with a wooden spoon while cooking. Add chopped onion. Cook the ground beef fully, until browned and no longer pink.
- Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Then return to the stove and reduce the heat to low.
- Add the 1/2 cup tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Stir together until the meat is coated in the sauce.
- Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add taco meat to tacos shells and add toppings.
- Serve with your favorite salad and sides.
Notes
- Once the meat has browned, drain away excess fat so that the mixture isn't greasy. You can quickly do this using a fine mesh sieve.
- Because the meat is quick to cook, I often chop and prep my toppings first so that they are ready to go.
- If you prefer your tacos on the spicy side, add in a little cayenne to the seasoning.
