Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a leaner option)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade mix: chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (with green chilies for an extra kick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortillas, for serving
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, salsa, jalapeños
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain any excess fat, if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
- Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it gets too thick, feel free to add a splash of water for desired consistency.
- Once the mixture is heated through, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the taco meat hot with warm tortillas and all your favorite toppings. Enjoy your culinary creation!
