Ingredients

Instructions

1. If making your own, stir the taco seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl; if using store-bought, measure out 3 tablespoons.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the beef and break it up with a spatula until mostly browned, about 4 minutes.
3. Stir in the onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes until softened and the beef is fully cooked. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. If there is a lot of grease, spoon off most of it, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
4. Add the 3 tablespoons taco seasoning and 1 tablespoon tomato paste, stir well and cook 1 minute until the beef is evenly coated.
5. Add 1/2 cup water, stir, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until juicy and lightly saucy with no excess liquid.
6. Warm the taco shells or tortillas, fill each with the beef and add toppings.
