- 1 lb (450g) ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet of taco seasoning mix (or make your own blend with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder
, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper) - 8-10 small tortillas (corn or flour, whichever you prefer)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions:
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until it's browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Meat: Add the taco seasoning mix to the cooked meat according to the instructions on the packet. If you're using your own blend of spices, sprinkle it over the meat and mix well. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the meat is simmering, prepare your toppings. Shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes and onions, shred the cheese, and prepare any other toppings you'd like to use.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 20-30 seconds until they're warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon some of the seasoned meat onto each tortilla, then add your desired toppings - lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and any other toppings you like.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately while they're warm, with additional toppings like salsa, sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
- Variations: Feel free to customize your tacos with different proteins like chicken, fish, shrimp, or beans for a vegetarian option. You can also switch up the toppings to suit your taste preferences.
