Easy Beef Tacos

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Brown The Beef** Set a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and onion. Break the meat up with a wooden spoon. Cook 6–8 minutes until no pink remains and bits stick to the pan. Drain excess fat if there is a lot in the bottom.

2. 2.

   Season The Meat

   Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook 1 minute. Pour in water. Simmer 2–3 minutes until the liquid mostly absorbs and the seasoning coats every crumb.

3. 3.

   Warm The Shells

   Warm taco shells or tortillas per package directions. Soft tortillas go in a dry skillet 20 seconds per side. Keep them wrapped in a clean towel.
