street tacos

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 1 Onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 packet Taco Seasoning
• 1/2 cup Water
• 12 Corn Tortillas
• 1/2 cup Shredded Lettuce
• 1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
• 1/2 cup Crumbled Cotija Cheese
• 1/4 cup Salsa (your favorite)
• Lime Wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
3. Drain off any excess grease.
4. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Warm corn tortillas according to package directions (microwave, dry skillet, or warm water).
7. Assemble tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, crumbled cotija cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.
8. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing.

Notes

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili powder to the taco seasoning.
• You can substitute the ground beef with shredded chicken or pork.
• Keep tortillas warm in a tortilla warmer or wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.
• To prevent soggy tacos, don't add the salsa until just before serving.
• Serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream or guacamole.
