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.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 12 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, lime
