Preparation
Step 1
Instructions
Prepare the taco seasoning mixing together all the ingredients and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat into smaller chunks, until it is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, cook for about 30 seconds and then add the tomato sauce and jalapeno. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds on each side.
Fill each tortilla with the beef mixture and top with your preferred toppings.
Garnish the easy ground beef tacos with chopped cilantro, lime wedges and serve!
Enjoy!
