Taco night is always a good idea, and this 30-minute version makes it even better. Brown 80/20 ground beef with onion, garlic, and taco seasoning, then load it into flour or corn tortillas with all your favorite toppings. It's a crowd-pleaser every single time.
Pro Tip
Warm your flour or corn tortillas directly over a gas flame for 15 seconds per side — that quick char adds authentic flavor and makes them pliable without tearing.

- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
