Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water, or broth
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning
- 8 taco shells, or small tortillas
- lettuce, shredded
- tomatoes, diced, or pico de gallo, and jalapeños
- cheddar cheese, shredded
- guacamole, or sliced avocado
- hot sauce, sour cream, cilantro and lime wedges, to serve
Method
- Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, for about 4 minutes.
- Add the onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until softened and the beef is cooked through. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Spoon off most of the fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
- Add the taco seasoning and tomato paste and cook 1 minute, stirring to coat the beef.
- Pour in the water, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 4 minutes, until juicy and lightly saucy.
- Warm the shells or tortillas, fill with the beef and add the toppings. Serve.
