Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium white onion diced
- 1 lb. ground beef lean
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 3 tbsp homemade taco seasoning or store-bought
- 8 medium flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup lettuce shredded
- 1 cup shredded taco cheese blend
- 1 large Roma tomato diced
- 4 tbsp sour cream
- Hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Use your spatula to break it apart. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Mix well and simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds.
- On each tortilla, add a scoop of the beef mixture. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
- Arrange your tacos on a serving platter and enjoy!
