Ingredients

• Ground beef (1 lb)
• Onion (1, finely chopped)
• Bell pepper (1, finely chopped)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Chili powder (1 tablespoon)
• Cumin (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon or to taste)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
3. Continue to cook the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. While the beef mixture is cooking, heat the taco shells according to the package instructions.
5. Once everything is ready, assemble the tacos. Start by spooning the beef mixture into each taco shell. Follow with a sprinkling of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and finally, a handful of shredded lettuce.
6. Serve the tacos immediately, while everything is still hot and fresh. Enjoy your little taste of Mexico!
