Method
Prepare Taco Meat
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid has mostly absorbed, stirring occasionally.
Assemble Tacos
- Warm the taco shells or tortillas according to package directions.
- Set up a taco bar with the cooked taco meat and desired toppings.
- Allow everyone to build their own tacos with their preferred ingredients.
Notes
Experiment with different toppings like avocado, cilantro, or pickled onions for extra flavor. For a healthier option, use lean ground beef or ground turkey. You can also make a large batch of taco meat and freeze portions for quick future meals. Consider a "taco bowl" with rice and beans instead of shells for a gluten-free alternative.
