Savor The Flavor Tacos
These Savor The Flavor Tacos bring vibrant Mexican flavors to your weeknight dinner with seasoned beef, melting cheese, and fresh toppings. Quick, festive, and endlessly customizable!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 85/15 lean; or substitute ground turkey or plant-based crumbles
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning store-bought or homemade
- 8 small corn tortillas soft; or use flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 cup water for saucier filling
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded or Mexican blend
- 1 cup lettuce shredded iceberg or romaine
- 1 medium tomato diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped (optional)
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- Salsa, guacamole, sour cream for serving
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add onion and cook 2 minutes until soft; stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Crumble in ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning, and cook until no pink remains.
- Pour in water, stir gently, and let simmer 2–3 minutes so spices coat the meat.
- Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or directly on a gas flame for 10 seconds per side.
- Fill each tortilla with beef, top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and cilantro; squeeze lime over everything.
- Add salsa, sour cream, or guacamole as desired; serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For extra crunch, crisp tortillas in oil before filling. Leftover beef freezes beautifully—defrost in fridge overnight.
