Easy Homemade Tacos Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef or chicken
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade: 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt)
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • ½ cup sour cream (optional)
  • ½ cup salsa or taco sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Meat:
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the ground beef or chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
    • Once browned, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and ¼ cup water.
    • Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the meat is fully coated in seasoning and the liquid evaporates.
  2. Prepare the Toppings:
    • While the meat is cooking, chop the lettuce and tomatoes, and shred the cheese.
  3. Warm the Tortillas:
    • Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds on each side, or microwave them for 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
  4. Assemble the Tacos:
    • Place a few spoonfuls of the cooked meat onto each tortilla.
    • Add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and any other desired toppings like sour cream or salsa.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Fold the tacos and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as guacamole or tortilla chips.
