Classic Beef Tacos

Ingredients

• Ground beef (1 pound)
• Taco seasoning (1 packet (or homemade equivalent))
• Water (2/3 cup)
• Tortillas (8 small (corn or flour))
• Lettuce (1 cup, shredded)
• Tomatoes (1 cup, diced)
• Onion (1/2 cup, diced)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Sour cream (1/2 cup)
• Guacamole (1/2 cup)
• Salsa (1/2 cup)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
2. Add the taco seasoning and the 2/3 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
3. While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
4. To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the seasoned ground beef onto each warm tortilla.
5. Top each taco with a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onion, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
6. Add a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a scoop of guacamole on top.
7. Fold the tortillas in half, serve immediately, and enjoy!
