Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 1 clove garlic
- 5 ounces ground beef
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 taco shells
- Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, pico de gallo, salsa
Instructions
- Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add onions and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Add ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spatula. Season with salt, chili powder, and cumin, or use ½ teaspoon of taco seasoning instead. Cook for about 8 minutes, until no longer pink. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Cover and set aside.
- Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Place taco shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, until warmed.
- Fill taco shells with the cooked beef and your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Drain the Beef: Remove excess fat after cooking for a lighter taco.
- Warm the Shells: Heat taco shells in the oven for better crunch.
- Adjust the Heat: Add more or less chili powder to suit your taste.
- Use Fresh Toppings: Finish with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese for extra flavor and texture.
