Ground Beef Tacos
Taco Tuesday is a lifestyle. Seasoned ground beef, all the toppings, everyone builds their own. Taco Tuesday on the mess deck — the one tradition that transferred to civilian life perfectly. My family
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20)
- taco seasoning (above)
- 1/2 cup water
- hard taco shells and/or soft flour tortillas
- toppings (see below)
Method
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles (7-8 minutes). Drain excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water. Stir, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces into a saucy coating on the meat.
- Warm the shells: hard shells in a 325°F oven for 5 minutes, soft tortillas on a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.
- Set up the taco bar and let everyone build their own.
